@kgirlhart thanks! I don’t count calories any more but I do keep a food diary. I’ve been working so hard on my impulsive eating and secret eating. Being in maintenance is so hard because of the constant fear that I’m slipping back to my old ways! But even though I don’t count calories any more, I know I ate a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner with no other snacks. So I made a point of eating my two squares of dark chocolate, and entering it in my food log, and telling my daughter. My husband is already asleep! 😀
