Do People Get Annoyed With You Because You Count Calories?
I've found this to be the case. Tracking food for me through MFP has really helped me curb my snacking because I'm accountable for every calorie I put in my mouth. Therefore, I track EVERYTHING. I ate a cookie and grabbed my phone to enter the calories in the app. A few friends told me I was neurotic and didn't need to be…

This past Easter, I knew there would be a lot of good stuff around, and I know that tracking everything I ate would be tough, so I gave myself a day where I didn't track calories at all .
