Managing MFP in a busy life

I am new here,
but, i love it and feel MFP is helping me focus on my caloric intake,
and find the very act of logging my food

---

every bite, every condiment, every liquid, everything,
just logging it all,
is causing changes in how i see my ktichen now.

For first time in my whole life,
i am becoming aware of how MUCH i eat---> the portion sizes.
NOW, i at least eyeball the food, if not actually measure it, to be able to log it later on.


I am becoming more aware of calorie-dense foods.
lol

---

i am getting eyes like that scene in the Terminator movie, where the alien guy scans a room and sees numbers/facts/measurements,

that is kind of how i see tables of food now:laugh:

---

my eyes look at a table and register this: "item in this bowl is probably about 300 cal per cup, item in this bowl is about 100 ca per cup." etc etc.:laugh:

I am now eager and more eager, to weigh myself, to see if another few ounces has come off yet., focusing on one day at a time, instead of looking at the wholllllllllle pile of weight i have yet to lose.
I feel good to lose a few ounces:bigsmile: :drinker: , instead of thinking, "aw geez, i still have 28 more pounds of fat :sad: on me."

I am becoming more focused on, what i eat = what i weigh, and which types of food are best for me.

Becoming aware of how many calories i have left for the day, has helped me (more than once), NOT eat something i normally would have eaten.
sometimes, late in the evening, i run to computer, log all my food, to see if there are enough calories to eat this snack, or not.

never did THAT before!! ha ha!! i AM going to make to my goal weight, and am going to become a healthier more active person again.

I use the iphone app to help me make better choices at restaurants.
