All or nothing no more

Options
Hi all, jumping in to the community by not just tracking my food, but also posting here. I am a married 34 year old, working mother of two. I have a history of all or nothing approaches to exercise and food. As always, I am trying to keep both moderate. A few years ago I dropped some extra weight from tracking food and exercise and went from ~160 to the low 140s. I have kept most all of it off, thanks to lots of running, but my food can sometimes be all over the place. My goals are to be moderate and kind to myself.

Hope

    This web site is awesome! It really helped me to realize how my eating can undo my exercise efforts. I am a fairly healthy eater, but when I actually started logging the little things I'd eat here and there, it made me realize how those 'little snacks' add up. Good luck to you!
