NSV I am...

Finally in control of my food and not the other way around

I have a half a Papa Murphey's deLITE pizza sitting on the kitchen table waiting to cool so I can stick it in the fridge , I ate the half I accounted for and I feel no need to eat anymore of it till tomorrow where I plan to have the other half. I have a big box of Mike & Ike's sitting on the shelf above my computer monitor it is not hidden or anything it is just where I set it and I LOVE Mike & Ike's but I feel no compulsion to have any, in fact I have not even opened the box yet! I have a freezer and pantry filled with the good stuff ice cream,100 cal packs of cookies,those warm delights (150 cals of brownie awesomeness) and no need to raid it but when I want a treat near the end of the day I have a selection to choose from.

I know I don't eat clean my macro are never perfect and a still have some processed food in there (Hot Pockets Cuban Style are also really awesome) but try to make most of my meals and even the processed stuff I tend to bake now instead of nuke you get a lot more flavor out of it and a much nicer texture for most of it. I still eat a lot of sit down resturants/fast food but not as much as I use to and I make better choices usually have it logged in before I even step foot in the restaurant.

I have my bad days and days I am expecting to go over but I reached the point where I AM IN CONTROL of food not the other way round. I have been constantly gathering information from the community here at MFP taking what I can use and everything else with a grain of salt and from doing what it has told me to I have had a steady loss of 2lbs a like my goal. I have what I want in moderation keeping within the limits(there is no substitute for a baconator :laugh: ) and try to not to have cheat days and even if I know I am going over I log everything and keep it within maintenance.

guess this is more a rant then a story but I hope you enjoyed my little successes none the less
