    Ok, because of so many that responded regarding how integral a food scale is, I actually went out and bought one just now. I will start using it tomorrow. We'll see...
    Alright, that's it. Tomorrow after my morning workout I'm going to Bed, Bath and Beyond (I have one of those 20% coupons) to see if they have one of those scales. I will spare no expense...ok, I will, but the point is, I am now convinced that it can be a helpful tool.
    i weigh every bite i put in my mouth, and measure every drop, and i have been losing weight steadily where i didn't before i started weighing / measuring.

    <==============Another vote to get a scale.

    You will be surprised (sad) to see what a single serving is :laugh:

    Psychologically, I feel that, if there isn't going to be a change, why not enjoy those forbidden foods, after all, I went without them before and saw no positive affects?

    Lots of good advice here. The thing that stuck in my mind when I first read your original post is that "forbidden foods" seem to have undermined every previous weight loss effort I made. Now I'm not dieting - I'm modifying my diet. No forbidden foods - just moderation. No crazy cravings to woo me away from my goals.

    I rarely look in diaries but I was bored. Are you really eating that little some days or are you not logging some meals? There are a lot of missing dinners and a lot of what look like junk food binges? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but the calories get high really quickly. And most of us in binge mode don't count well. :ohwell:
