Losing the motivation....
I am so frustrated I could scream! I do good all morning and even lunch, but when dinner time rolls around I blow it! This weekend I ate all but two slices of a 14" specialty pizza in one sitting!!

A calorie is a calorie, is a calorie, is a calorie LoL
Am I the only one on here that just counts calories as just that, a calorie? I don't even pay attention to the daily fat , carbs, or protein they allot me on here.
