Eye-opening
Hello! I have used MFP before, but it's been a few years. I just tracked my food for today and I"m sure I forgot some. It is truly a reality check. It is so easy to think you are not eating so much, or that poorly. But oh my, you track and track as honestly as you can, and it opens your eyes. I am 56 years old and I am…

Saying 'no' to gimmicks

Digging in...
Yup, this is it for me. I have to do this. Dig in and take this seriously. I am going to be held accountable. I've got to get my heart in sync with my head. I know what I need to do, and I need to want to do it. First step for me, is to get rid of the candy. If I could only eat one little candy bar a day, it would be no…
