in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone,

Thought I would introduce myself. I'm obese...But I'm trying to not be. I have started some workouts using EA Sports Active 2 and now was recommended this site to help me eat better. Saturday was my first day and it went great. Today, we went to Chili's and I hadn't looked up food before so I got what I normally get...Turns out the Southern Smokehouse Burger w/ Ancho Chile BBQ has 2290 calories alone...So today wasn't a good day for me eating.

But I figure eating better isn't something that will happen over night. I need to work at making better decisions all the time. Hope that the people on this site can help me.

Thanks!

    yeah, tracking what you eat is certainly an eye-opening expereince...we went to Applebees the other day and I was plugging in all of the menu items...it was quite scary what I usually order!!! Give yourself small goals each day, then move up to a week, then a month...it makes the transition to healthier choices that much easier! Good luck!
