I'd probably reach for my Panda soft licorice. Five pieces is less than 45 calories.

Essay #2 The Unapologetic Fat Girl’s Guide to Exercise, by Hanne Blank http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13573382-the-unapologetic-fat-girl-s-guide-to-exercise-and-other-incendiary-acts In her introduction, Blank says that exercise is important, not just because of its benefits to physical and mental health, but because…

July 19 Using my Day Off I earned with the One Bowl book review. Got my exercise in, but not sure whether or not I was over calories.

This is why I never eat in-flight meals! ;)

Open to friends. I like looking at friends' diaries for new food ideas, so I like to return the favor. It also makes me feel more accountable. Haven't had any friends be judgmental.

I love the taste of green tea, sweetened or unsweetened, hot or cold! It's black tea that disappoints me.

Woke up in the early morning hours and was having trouble getting back to sleep. In the past, I would have had a snack. I considered it (would have counted it on today's diary), but I have a girl's night tonight that I want to save calories for. So I went to the Emotional Eating group.

@phillys: Awesome! @caradae: Yeah, I've had a lot of...low nutrient food recently. We had some out-of-town guests that brought snacks and left them here. Just finished up the last bag of chips at dinner. *pats belly* Those won't be a problem anymore! :) My update: This is the most embarrassing thing I've admitted here.…

Haha, my Mom's tater tot casserole was my favorite meal as a kid. We must have been poorer, because ours wasn't nearly as impressive: 1 lb ground beef, pressed into the bottom of a baking dish, with 1/2 package of onion soup mix sprinkled on top, then a layer of tater tots to cover it evenly, then 1 can cream of mushroom…

I like build-your-own sandwich and wrap places. We have a couple of local chains near us that are awesome. I enjoy Panera as well.

I would suggest switching to having them just occasionally, instead of giving them up altogether. Maybe try popcorn or nuts?
