so i am pretty new here on MFP and i have realized that tracking my food makes me think about food way more than i used to. while i am trying to pick and choose between the good and the bad, i find that i end up loosing the battle. so my question to you all is does it get better the longer i track and is there any tips you might be able to give me. :happy: thank you

    :smile: It really helps me to have lots of friends on here and to view their food diaries for new healthy food ideas. Feel free to add me and browse my blog--it's where I've started saving all of the great recipes people are posting on MFP.

    Logging your food does make you more aware of what your eating. I didn't realize how much fat I was eating. I try to stay away from processed foods. I watch my portion sizes and always add fresh fruit and vegetable to my meals.

    I agree with this and am working at improving and avoiding all the sugary sweets I used to eat daily.
