    One of the reasons I love MFP is because it's not a diet...I'm in complete control...there are no eat this and not that, etc. I have found that weighing and measuring food, counting my calories and macros has helped me learn what a proper portion is...it's helped me learn better nutrition and hitting certain macro goals has made a world of difference in hitting goals (fitness and nutrition) and has vastly improved my blood work.


    Yes!! I totally agree. We are in control of what we eat and are given authority to see it on our own.

    Pasta and potatoes (I'm seeing a theme among us here). Those became especially difficult once I switched to a vegetarian diet. Go to any restaurant and look at their vegetarian options: pasta, pasta, and more pasta. And potatoes in any form just call to me.

    The hardest thing for me, though, is that I work in a crisis office at a domestic violence shelter, and we get a lot of food donations. We get so much of certain things that extras (way beyond the amount our clients will eat) are always sent up to the crisis office because we're the only staff there 24 hours a day. So every day when I come into work, there are boxes of Panera bread pastries, donuts, Hostess snack cakes, muffins and endless amounts more like that. I finally had to ask my co-workers to start putting that stuff in a cabinet so I won't see it. So far, everyone's been pretty helpful.
