    I'm going to go buy a food scale next.
    I really want to see what 28grams of flaming hot cheetos (my food Achilles' heel) actually looks like.

    Awesome. You're not gonna like what you see! :noway::laugh:

    Yes I cried when I weighed my cheese the first time:sad:

    OH CHEESUS!
    I don't know how I am going to react when I see what a real 1oz of cheese looks like for the first time. I might faint. MFP please be there when I do!!!!

    I have seen the digital scales at Ross/Marshalls for around $12

    It really is eye-opening!

    On the bright side, your first week wasn't wasted, because although you got the portion sizes wrong, you still got into the habit of noticing and writing down what you eat and started learning about calorie contents of different foods!
