How do you stick to your healthy diet?
What are some ways you continue to eat healthy and stop binge eating? I know most of you will say that you don't cut anything from your diet, and you eat what you want. CICO blah blah blah.

Where did I go wrong?
today I had two treats, a black bean brownie and a pabst. Everything else I felt like was on track, but I ended up going way over my fat and was about 20g under with protein. If anything, I thought I'd be over in carbs. Anyone want to look at my diary and tell me what they'd do differently?
