Hi I’m new here...looking for potato diet followers

Question for you, Nora! Maybe it will clear things up. Do you think that you should punish yourself for "letting yourself go"?

Well I’m here. I am logging food. And I need to get more familiar with it. I do see myself transitioning to something sustainable. I want to succeed. And I do enjoy the tatoes for now. Like I said they are very filling. Eating a salad always left me empty. Reading labels was a chore. I just need to figure out the right combinations of food.

You won't get familiar with logging a mixed range of foods until you start doing that regularly.

When you eat a normal diet you'd be surprised how often you eat similar foods - I rarely add new foods to my log these days, instead, I use the ones accumulated in my history. It makes logging easy - all you need to do is weigh or measure.

If you don't like salad, don't eat salad (there are a million different ways to prepare salad though, many incorporating more substantial, filling ingredients). There is no harm with continuing to enjoy potatoes either, but combining them with a protein source and perhaps some other vegies and some fat would be a great idea.
