Yesterday I had 6 strawberries with my lunch. The database said that was 250ish calories. I didn't question it because I am new to calorie counting. I did, however, mentally scratch strawberries off of my future grocery list. One of my friends looked at my food diary and suggested that I recheck that info. She was right. The info I had was about 200 cal over!

I have wondered if it would be a problem for me to be trolling around, looking at other people's diaries, having them look at mine...but God showed me very early in that there is an obvious benefit for being transparent. Others can then help me. And I need the help. I cannot do this alone.

So far, looking at the diaries of those of my friends who share them, I have not been triggered. I have gotten ideas for things to pack in my lunch, and made mental notes about restaurants to avoid, and figured out that sandwiches take about 10 lines of ingredients, and that's just the way it is for sandwiches! Thankfully MFP has a tool to remember the meal.

So, I think I will continue to keep my diary open, and to troll through yours.
