I just wanted to say hello and check this all out. My friend reccomended this site and so far i really like it, though i did have a slip a little while ago. Without even thinking about it i grabed three mini cookies from the waiting area of my office while i was waiting for my boss. When i was halfway through the 3 cookie i was like "oh crap i'm not suppose to be eating this, duh...." so i threw away what was left of the cookie and i added them to my food log. It was such a habit to just grab the cookie i didn't even think about it. I am not beating myself up about it. just moving on from it. I look forward to getting to know some of you. I'll put a pic up when I'm at home as i don't have pics of myself on my work computer.

    Welcome! I have found that as long as I log everything I eat, it really helps me. It's a great website, you will enjoy it! :smile:

    Hey girl! Welcome to the site. I hope you find it as helpful and the people as supportive as I do. Hey, being accountable is a HUGE thing and the fact that you realized the cookies weren't a good idea is a success!

    Everyone, make sure to give this girl lots of love...she is a good friend of mine here in CT! :wink: :laugh: :bigsmile:

    hi! I'm new too - and I also went over my calorie goal today. I didn't think a cookie from subway would be so many calories! But tomorrow is another day.
