    Welcome. You are right about cramming stuff into your body and not even realizing. I bought this cereal that is supposed to be healthy and all natual. 1/2 cups is 210 calories plain. If I would not have been paying attention to labels and what not these past few days, I can imagine going up and innocently grabbing handful after handful. This site and being accountable have prevented me from doing that. I LOVE this site!! Here's to myfitnesspal:drinker:

    They really do sneak up on you don't they. I usually eat 2 normal size meals (lunch and dinner) and maybe a snack at some point in the day. What I didn't realize is that what I thought were normal size meals were actually huge meals and they were typically high is carbs....like your breads and starches. I never gave a thought to actually reading nutrition labels, seemed to "girly" to me. But, 50 pounds later, here I am doing exactly that.

    10 pounds should be a piece of cake for you. Wish I would have paid attention earlier. Good Luck, keep us up to date!
