first day woes

heathie88

First full day using this site... And I never realized how much calories i actually eat in a day! What a shock! So hopefully getting the hang of this calorie counting will get my life on the right track... I made some poor mistakes because i was craving sweets when i wasnt even hungry =/ ... The begining is always tough, so i just have to keep my head high and do better tomorrow

There are lots of great tools here, and lots of AMAZING people! Use what you can and you'll do great!

Here's a link to a thread on healthy snacks, maybe you can get a few ideas so that the next time you want to snack you can eat something without adding too many calories!

Treat yourself to a pack of gum. It will curb that sweet tooth and save you plenty of times! It has for me. My favorite brand is 5 Gum. I really like their Zing & Solstice flavors. Also, mint gum + anything pretty much tastes BLECH!

You're not alone. I remember my first day woes...actually for me it was first week woes. Don't worry it gets better. You just have to wait for your body to adjust.
