I can't believe how one week doing this particular program has opened my eyes to food choices. I'm happy though, that now I think about what I want to spend my calories on! A HUGE salad or a small naughty snack, I'm going for the HUGE salad lol

    The secret is seeing it in print. I wish I could eat salad in the winter, but it doesn't seem to appeal to me. SOS

    I have to admit, having it in your face really makes me hold back on the junk.

    yes it really does and knowing people may look a your food diary to see what you have eaten makes you watch it too - dont want others thinking you eat junk all the time :)

    Salads are great. Yesterday I had romaine, strawberries, walnuts, feta cheese, and a light raspberry.

    I think the best thing is knowing what you can get for your calories! I know I can get a really good, tasty, nutritional dinner for 400 cals and not in any way feel deprived, and then wonder how people can consciously shovel a regular McDonald's meal in to their bodies for over a 1000 cals and be ok with that? Knowledge is power!

    The Maccie D;s breakfast will probably show on the scales because of the sodium too!
    Shame they're so scrummy :(
    Not worth it in th long run though. I fet physically ill the other day when I worked out how many calories were in my pudding.. I only ate half and that was bad enough!!

    Not me! You have to change your profile settings for people to be able to see it.
