Muffin Top-Less

I sat up out of bed one morning, the rolls of my beer gut smushing together. With my head pounding against my skull and my skin tingling from dehydration, I realized.. I can't do this anymore. So I decided to ditch the booze and the crazy, college, party-girl lifestyle and get fit! I'm new to this whole "blog" thing, so bear with me! But I hope to use my journey and my knowledge to educate and motivate all you girls out there who are looking to do the same! Feel free to ask me anything! I also made a Twitter & Facebook for those of you who said it would be easier to follow!

Excessive stress can cause an increase in the secretion of the hormone, cortisol.. which promotes fat storage.
Some studies have shown that stress and elevated cortisol tend to cause fat deposition in the abdominal area rather than in the hips. This fat deposition has been referred to as “toxic fat” since abdominal fat deposition is strongly correlated with the development of cardiovascular disease including heart attacks and strokes.
