    I've learned there are some very funny and smart people here.
    Also, from one of those people, I learned that entire box of Kraft Mac and Cheese = 1200 calories. ;)

    I learned that you need to record whatever you eat to realize how much crap you eat

    track everything I eat good or bad every day to the best of my ability
    there are food counts for restaurant foods
    sometimes you have to estimate (be realistic about this I have weighed and measured enough food that I can pretty much eye ball a 1/2 cup but when I am at home I weigh and measure everything)
    don't order a 16 oz steak and lie to myself about the portion size
    don't beat myself up if I go over my calories for a day - it happens move on and make better choices the next day
    individual bags of cookies or chips may be more expensive but it is easier to track the nutrient values
    savor what I am eating, don't just gulp it down

    last but not least THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!!!!!
