    One big change has been to make sure I am eating some vegetables with every meal. Some days it is a pleasure and broadens the way I think about food, some days I just choke them down, but I eat them.

    Another big change is that I have given up on perfection in the way that I eat. Eating a little junk but staying in my calories every day is better than eating perfect for a few days and then completely going bonkers for weeks/months on end.

    The last big change is that I keep my calories more stable from day to day. I used to think if I wasn't hungry I shouldn't eat, but what it ended up doing was putting me on a big yo-yo...not eat much, then overeat. This was not good for my energy level, digestion, or weight (since the overeating more than compensated for the low hunger times).
