Thanks for the Welcome!!

    I was very surprise to see the positive feedback so soon after my post, Thank you and I will return the favor …it’s great having a support system where people undersatand where you are. Today, I recorded everything I ate, even down to the mayonnaise and the 4 cookies that I ate. It turns out that I went over my caloric amount by 100 calories. Wow…recording might be annoying but it sure was an eye opener! I realized after lunch, that I tend to crave sweets. I will try to subsitute my cookie cravings with dried fruits, and then when my will power is greater eliminate sugar….okay, let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves.

    I did the most craiziest thing today, I told my boyfriend how much I weigh. I’m usually secretive about my weight and size, but I told him and he was great about it. So, now that I’ve had an idea of what my eating habits are, I need to keep recording until I get a good grasp on what I need to do to improve my nutrition.

    Thanks again everyone for your help and I look forward to reading your blogs and returning the support…BTW- is there a way I can read a peroson blog’s from their profile ?

    Welcome 30sumthin! You are brave to record everything you eat. I should do this very soon, I think that I probably sneek in too many things that I don’t think as real calories. I am going to try it tomorrow, thanks to you. You are even more brave to tell your boyfriend how much you weigh. It’s funny, my 7 year old thinks if I weigh over 100 pounds I must be HUGE…My husband doesn’t know my weight unless he’s looking over my shoulder here. I am not going to follow in your bravery here, however LOL! Good luck, work hard and kick ass!

    You go girl! You are an example to us all. No one not even my Mom gets to see me on the scales. I do my food log everyday but I sometimes forget to put down everything and I found that I dont eat near as much when I know I have to fess up on my log. Keep going make us proud!
