Cold Turkey

Turkey is commonly a forgotten ally in the Cold War. Probably the most important event of the Cold War in Turkey was the Turkish Straits crisis: a territorial conflict between the Soviet Union and Turkey. Throughout World War II, Turkey had remained neutral.

Cold Turkey I recently gave birth to a beautiful little girl who is covered in adorable little fat rolls. As cute as the fat rolls look on her, all this extra fluff is not becoming on me. The time has finally come for me to drop the thirty pounds that I gained during my pregnancy. Although I have always loved a good challenge, being a mother of three and starting college leaves very little time for a focused diet. Since so much of my efforts are spent tending to the needs of those in my…
