Learning new habits!

jennrobb5

Over the years I've developed some bad eating habits and do a LOT of rationalizing. I am famous for "I'll start tomorrow" and "just one more". It seems I just never get "finished" and start a new healthy habit permanently. Somehow I am going to start putting my health first and be more mindful of every decision I make, even when I'm tired/hormonal/stressed...lol. I'd love to communicate with others on their journeys toward getting healthy. I'm upper 40s, live on a farm, and have 3 kids. My job is Information Technology and I love it. Thanks!

Welcome!

Here are a couple of links that I think you’ll find very helpful:

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1234699/logging-accurately-step-by-step-guide/p1
http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

The first covers accurate logging and some of the tools in MFP to help you make things easier. The second discusses caloric needs and setting goals. These are two of the most commonly-referenced threads on MFP; tons of people point to them as being sources of great info when you're just starting out.
