    I used to never think twice about having seconds. Now I stop and weigh and measure and make better decisions on everything I eat. I still have ice cream once in a while but where I used to have a bowl full, I measure out maybe 1/2 cup and that's it. Thanks Courtney for introducing me to MFP. Thanks MFP for changing my life for the better. :love: It's been 9 months since I started MFP and I'm 50lb. and many many inches smaller, and have gone from a tight 18/20 pants to a size 12! Good luck everyone.:drinker:

    I still use whole milk. Cooking with the watered down stuff is just no good.

    MFP has definitely taken all the fun out of "all you can eat" buffets and crawfish boils!
    Too funny.

    Such a great post, and very true! It's crazy how you can blindly eat. I can't believe some of the meals I was having were costing me 700-1000 calories each, even at small quantities. How many calories could really be in that small muffin? Who knew?!

    Still eating semi poorly now, but I'm counting every single calorie! Portion control is crucial!

    I will still save up enough calories through the week and work an extra barn shift on Saturday every so often so I can still eat a pint of ice cream without wanting to kick myself in the *kitten*.

    Then there are days that I eat a pint of ice cream and want to kick myself in the *kitten* but work my butt off for the rest of the week.

    All because of MFP, dang you MFP for help me take personal responsibility and for all those helpful educated folks, oh and for saving my life after I thought it was ruined.

    Love it.... and isn't it amazing how quick the changes and habit come about? MFP is a god send and I recommend it to anyone that needs little support and accountability!

    MFP ROCKS :glasses:

    Gosh, now I have to show up for life not just meals! yea, my buffet life isn't fun any more. No longer can I be a victim, I have found self responsibility, oh my I have to be responsible to get a life. yes, you ruined my life to get a life. I have had to find solutions to problems rather than go to that buffet. I have learned my happiness is not up to someone else and it is not in that buffet. yes, my life is ruined, I though all my fun and happiness was in that buffet,lol

    The days of eating double bacon cheeseburgers, large fries, and a coke are long gone...:tongue: my wife created this post, and I can definitely attest to the fact that things have been a bit different around here...every meal has been well thought about before we indulge, MFP is the culprit in ruining our lifestyle of horrible eating choices, and helped us to be more aware, and health conscious individuals.

    Oh, I know! I can't eat without pulling out my darned iPhone and checking out the calories in whatever I am planning to eat. It's saved me from many a caloric disaster.

    You don't sound fully committed on the whole milk.
    Just what I thought :laugh:

    I can no longer have 3 sushi rolls and then finish off my kid's Hibachi meal without seeing almost a 400-calorie overage. Sigh. On the other hand, I've lost not quite 10 lbs and everyone who only sees me occasionally keeps telling me i look like a lost a bunch of weight. I used to attribute that to they just thought i was faster than i really am....but then i realized that the "not-quite-10-lbs" could actually be seen, possibly, maybe. Lol

    ETA: my boyfriend does see me everyday and tells me i look like i lost some weight too, so i guess it's just me.
