(Aren't teenagers FUN? :huh: ) While I have been logging what I eat and stayed within my limits, I have been spending many of my days in bed battling with depression. There have been days that I couldn't eat. I…

The first day I got my digital scale I weighed EVERYTHING for the fun of it... My husband was annoyed with me, but I was astonished when I went to make a turkey lunch meat sandwich and although it said that 4 slices (thinly sliced) was 56g it took only 3 slices to reach that and sometimes it is MORE! Now I weight…
