I'm scaring myself...
I'm getting seriously obsessive, especially over the last month or two. All I think about is food and calories. What am I going to eat for dinner? How much fat, how much sugar, how much sodium? When I first began, I ate the recommended 1200 or more. Now, I average about 1000 calories a day. And, if I go over on sugar, I…

For all of you who like to weight themselves every day
It's considered general wisdom not to weigh yourselves every day. The body's weight naturally fluctuates by a couple of pounds up and down, and seeing the scale go up again the day after it read you'd lost a few can be disheartening. Weighing in once, maybe twice a week, gives you a more rounded view of what's going on.…
