Keep reading the Labels!
Even when you have been eating a certain food for a while, it is important to keep checking the labels as I discovered this morning. I have been buying the same protein powder for a couple years now. I know it is 150 cals/26 g protein per 1 scoop, and approx 26 servings per container... I recently opened a new canister of…

Whaddya mean by "I'm proud of you?"
I don't know why this bugs me... But now that I have lost enough weight for it to be noticeable, there are people who say stuff to me like "You've lost weight? I'm so proud of you!"

Muffin Tops at Preschool
:noway: Should I be disturbed by the fact that all but one teacher at my daughter's preschool is not only overweight, but obese? (I am speaking as one who knows full well I need to lose 80 lbs, not as one who is blind to my own issues.) Some of them are very young, 17, 18, 19, early 20's - and all quite heavy. The girls…

Cheat Days?
Do you allow yourself "cheat days"? Do you plan for them? Do you still track what you eat? I am striving for balance, and I hate thinking of food in negative ways like "that is not allowed".
