breaks?

I'm not sure what I weigh at the moment, I am using inches as a guide instead of the scale because i get all emotionally wrapped up in those three numbers.

Logging
I have a hard time eating 1200-1500 calories per day. I feel like I am stuffing my face! Even though I started to really shed the weight when I upped my calories I find myself having a hard time logging what I eat because I know I am still probably under my calorie goal because I have a hard time eating more than 900-1100.…
