All very good advice. I need to learn to not beat myself up over letting loose. I just don't know how to do that. I feel terrible about myself whenever I eat anything I "shouldn't" to the point it will just ruin my day. So not feeling that way would be the first step I suppose.

This is very true. My relationship with food is very unhealthy. And I do need to work on that. And I enjoy exercising but need to learn to not be a slave to it.

Thanks! Do you think the database is just more comprehensive or more accurate?

Thank you all. We'll see what happens when I start logging again.

I am perfectly happy with your advice, advice just wasn't what I was getting until your last post. I do plan to talk with my doctor as soon as I get a chance, and perhaps see an endocrinologist due to how rapidly I gained 40 pounds. Thank you.

Just to be clear, I understand that 120 pounds puts me in the underweight category, when I was that weight my doctors never said anything about it so I figured it must be alright. I also feel that unless a person was incredibly malnourished there is no way gaining about 40 pounds in the amount of time that I did (about 2…

From May 19 to June 8 it looks like was the time period I was good about tracking EVERYTHING. I will definitely go look at that website right now

I did the atkins induction phase, which is similar in that it puts your body into ketosis. It is heavy on fat and protein and basically no carb. I will look into the fat fast though!

Okay, I opened it, I stopped tracking food about 10 days ago, my diet has remained the same though as has my exercise. I may be exercising more now but I have definitely not exercised any less than what I was tracking before.
