Foods Under 50 Calories
I decided to compile a list of foods under 50 calories. This is my emergency food list - you know the kind of emergency: when you've had a rough food day and you must eat dinner but you can't because you've had an all day food binge.

Paleo diet?
Has anyone considered trying the paleo diet? I don't know much about it and I'm trying to learn more. I think you eat as much whole foods as possible staying away from most bread.... trying to eat nuts, fruits, veggies, beans, meat, and some milk.

That Daily Calorie Barrier
I hope it's not just me, but does anyone else feel anxiety over their personal calorie number goal? It's sometimes a sense of physical hunger I feel but mostly it's a mental fear of hitting or going over my daily allotment. I think it's more mental than physical. If I go over it by even a little bit I feel like the biggest…

Motivational Weight Loss Poem
I was thinking about myself and what I'm expecting of myself in my weight loss. I wrote a poem about negative outside influences telling me who and what I should look like and be.
