I think every time I read down through the message boards I learn something new every time. So, I thought why not share something you didn't know when you started your weight loss journey but now know.
Today, I just realized how I should be weighing stuff more then depending what the portion size says or going by cups. I need to tighten that ship up.

    I realized last night that I really need to get control of what I'm eating. "Everything in moderation" doesn't work for me - probably because I have an addict's mindset and food is my drug of choice. For me, atleast for now, its going to have to be diet rules such as "You cannot eat X thing" until I feel like I have better control of my eating. I see to get derailed daily by the foods (chips, chocolate) that I am addicted to....

    So far I realized that soda is a major trigger for eating junk food. It's weird I never realized that before :neutral:
