    I feel good today. My calorie intake met my daily goal. I wanted that and I am happy it was achieved. My exercise consists of walking around daily. I am doing this to lessen food cravings. Also, this balances the budget. I had three salads for $7. In addition, I had SF flavored water and popsicles total calories 1760 for the day.

    This is my fourth day logging in MFP calories. I had three bean/corn salad, harvest snaps, starburst jelly candy, and a Reese's peanut butter cups. This totals 2490 calories. My base is 2140; therefore 350 over base. I will try to do better tomorrow within base. However, I still feel good about myself. I want this to happen.

    Hello everyone:
    I am so glad that I logged in yesterday because I thought I did not. Today I had salad with chicken taquitos. Also, I intend to have some lower calorie popsicles. Total calories 1960. Yesterday and today was not so great in terms of situation; however, my calories were just below base of 2140. In that case, pretty good. I have to look at my day that way.

In the meantime, I will post and say hi to you and others. Thanks for giving me a message. Should you want to chat let me know.

    @Greaterthanlife, there are various people here who post threads where they report what they've eaten or what exercise they've done (or both) as a way to be accountable to themselves by being MFP-public about what they're doing. I think that is absolutely fine to do.

    I do think logging (in the diary) is insight-provoking and beneficial, but if you don't feel ready to do that quite yet, that is also fine IMO. I think it's OK for everyone and anyone to use the MFP tools in any way that helps them reach their goals, as long as those uses don't hurt anyone else's progress. As far as I can see, nothing you've posted hurts anyone else's progress.

    Please hang in there, and carry on. I'm cheering for you to find your own best path, and accomplish all your goals!
