Being calorie conscious is frustrating
Having a hard few days. I've been staying within my cals and working out but today especially I just feel depressed. I realized that I have used food and even alcohol as an entertainment source for so long that it's weird to not eat freely. I miss it. 45 days in 17lbs down I can't stop now. Just needed to vent.

Its cold out
This week hasn't been the best. Since I began trying to exercise more I have done roughly an hour walk per day outside. This week has not gone as well. I had my period for the first few days and TMI but I get some very difficult periods. I did the track the first day, the second I walked two miles at a slow pace, the third…

1,600+ calories for ONE meal?!
I went on a date with my husband today. I love chicken fingers and fries (Im a big kid what can I say) and always get them when I go out for the most part. I ordered and looked them up on the database. For 4 tenders and fries it was over 1600 cals! When I look it up on the restaurants menu it shows the tenders plate to be…

Weigh in anxiety
I stayed within my cals all week and exercised everyday. My first week I had that big drop (likely water weight) and this second week weighing in I am super anxious. I have no idea why. I am just so afraid of a gain but if this is going to work I need to face the scale every week I will eventually see a trend. I don't get…

They are 40 calories each! I do not need one! Just wanted to write this somewhere. They are not worth it its a minute of pleasure. For 11 days…

Overate the past three days feeling down
I have been tracking and doing pretty good for about a month now. I have been proud of myself as for the first time EVER I am not only doing this but I am writing it down EVERY day instead of just skipping and having it all fall apart. I keep telling myself this is a long haul change its going to take time and I am going…

When you eat more calories than anticipated how do you adjust your day? Feeling frustrated...
This morning my husband woke up early and made us all a nice breakfast. Usually he only puts 4 eggs in our standard veggie frittata and today he put in 6 (we split it). He also cooked up bacon and made me a piece of toast. Normally I skip the toast if I am planning on a sandwich for lunch (spoiler alert I was!) but I did…

I'll eventually get used to this right?
I have done myfitnesspal a few times but this time its really kicking in and I feel so serious about doing this. I am moving slowly but still staying mostly within my calorie range and being very mindful about what I am eating. I am writing it all down, tracking, and weighing myself. So far I have been doing well. Today…
