Ready to Change my Eating - Finally

I'm 71 (soon 72), and I decided it was about time I got serious about losing a few pounds and eating healthier. It's only been a couple of days but I am totally shocked at how fast the calories add up when I make bad choices. I hate journaling but realize it's the only way to make me see how poorly I've been eating and realizing I could eat more if I made better choices. I am looking forward to the journey.
