I'm really good at exercising, but I eat complete crap and I think it would help if I had a support system to help me! I need support and advice!

Hi. When I started back around tax time it helped me to figure out what my weakness were and come up with a plan to satisfy the craving with less calories and move past the strong urges that I had.
example, I loved zinger cakes and little debbies and they are worth about 800 calories. So in the beginning, I traded those cravings for a basic candy bar. They are much lower in calories and still felt like I was getting a treat. I still eat candy now and then but it's not like I have to get a candy bar cause I am going to work.
Another bad thing was stopping at McDonald's and consuming about 1500 calories between a sandwich and shake. I started ordering a differnt sandwich and smaller shakes to help stop the cycle. Now, if I get mcdonalds for ice cream it's just a basic cone or to eat might be a chicken wrap. The last time I went for my old regular I truely felt if was gross. I don't think I will ever drink an 800 calorie shake again. If I really want ice cream and something extra good. I will go for DQ blizard. At least I can chew it.
For me it just worked doing those little steps to move forward with healthier eating. Logging the calories really opened my eyes to the crazy amounts of food I was eating.
Just take each day at a time and don't give up.0 -

Can't tell you how many great food items I have picked up from other people's diaries. Open yours, friend people who have theirs open and look to see what they eat. It's ok to have treats and cheat meals, but overall you should strive to have as few processed foods as possible. Good luck0
