This is so very true! I no longer keep things like "fruit" snacks, Capri Sun, or Lunchables in my house. I never took the time before to read the nutrition labels on that stuff. YIKES! Thanks for your honesty about something that a lot of us struggle with

Great job! You should be proud of yourself! Thank you so much for sharing this :)

When I am PMS-ing I want to eat absolutely everything in sight!! To keep myself from doing that I pick a food (icecream, chocolate, whatever) and log it first thing in the morning.
