I have a confession to make

dababers

They say the first step on the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem...lol....Yay You!! Now, you need to be honest with yourself on the calorie count. The only one you're cheating is yourself. If you want a treat, it's fine. Maybe do a little extra exercise to counter it? Good luck.

Ok I will play along with this....

* I eat a roll just about every night with dinner (my weakness) which I log, however I DO NOT log the butter that I put on it lol.

* Every day for lunch or dinner I drink a caffeine free diet coke which never ends up in my journal

* If I have a meal which puts me over for the day (I do it purposely every 2 weeks) then I do not hit the "Complete" button - I just don't need people questioning it lol.

* Sometimes after an intense workout I will eat something small (a serving of peanuts or some yogurt) and 9 times out of 10 I don't log it.

If I was not losing weight then these things would be the first to go. But for the last 8 weeks I have lost almost exactly 2 pounds every week like MFP said I would. The way I look at it is MFP is giving me a 1000 calorie per day deficit and if I go over my goal by 100 calories one day then I might only lose 1.8 pounds that week instead of 2. I can live with that. But if I hit a plateau then I would cut the butter and the after workout snack.

I don't log any non-caloric drinks.

I don't log my water.

I don't log on Saturday, and only sometimes Sunday, but am very good throughout the week.

I probably use more creamer and drink more coffee than I log, but I absolutely refuse to physically measure out my creamer.

I'll close my journal, but sometimes, just sometimes, I might engage in a little "cookie freak out" after I've already closed my journal for the day and won't log it....but the guilt is enough for me to remember!!! LOL

We're all human, and PERFECT IS BORING!!!! :drinker: :smokin:
