    Oh man...I feel your pain. I love mexican food, and would have trouble not being big as a house if it was around all the time. The calorie log on here is awesome though, and will help you know what you're doing and/or need to do with the diet.The trick is sticking to it. That's where the motivators on here come into play.....very encouraging. Good luck with your journey!!!

    I'm from the S. E. side of Houston (Pasadena, Sagemont, Deer Park), and am a huge fan of tex mex. The only thing I eat a lot of right now though is jalapenos. They are great in an omlet with ham and cheese......just a little cheese. That and a big glass of milk makes for a good meal anytime. Maybe you should get your mom doing her calories. Then she might say no to seconds too.lol
