Don't use food as a reward for all your hard work. I'm sure there are so many other rewards you could choose that don't involve calories or spending much money. It would be better to reward yourself with a day off at the gym. Go rent a DVD at Redbox and relax.

I know what you mean by feeling bad about it. I feel bad if i'm even 10 calories over. Forgive yourself for it and move on. Just keep that feeling in mind when your tempted to go over again.

Hey everybody...thanks for all the supportive welcomes. Happy to be back in control of my portions. Luckily, I'm a very competitive person so this is exactly what I need to keep me on track. Can't wait to explore the community here. I have 20 lbs. to loose. This time I'm not going to make the mistake of not counting…
