Counting Calories Makes me Binge!
Anyone else have this problem. Its like I get obsessed with food and I have to binge on crap for two days out of the week. I'm not counting anymore, just trying to cut out added sugar, grains, and eat more fruits and veggies....its still a bit of a struggle, but better for me than obsessing over every single bite.
