A good food diary is the Food And Exercise Diary (WeightLossSoftware.Net). Might be of interest. It also has a medical diary.

@MacAttack – Good for you on resisting the urge to eat on those days where you just feel like you could just eat and eat! I know exactly that feeling!

@Ida – I hope you do figure it out one of these days. It will be a good keepsake years down the road.

@Trish – They do add up fast, and it doesn’t take much!

@Tammy – Isn’t it incredible the amount of calories fast food has? I’m so glad you have kicked those bad habits to the curb too! Way to go!

@Mary – It’s good to remember them, and it’s even better that they are behind you now!

@Hanlie – I understand that thought completely!

Dr. J – Yes, I had read that people underestimate the calories they consume by half! I know I did.

@Jodie – Thank you so much for the kind words. I liked your Hot Dog post today!

@Leah – That is so great that you have learned so much about your body, and what is good for it! I wonder if your hubby was surprised you didn’t finish your lunch?

@Rhonda – I emailed you with my take on it, but I just wanted to say that I agree with you about needing enough calories, or else your body will go into starvation mode and hang onto the weight!

@Julie It is easier. I do eat processed foods too. With a family my size, it would be hard not to eat any at all! I make the best choices I can though. It’s really important to eat enough calories, or you body will rebel, as you have so pointed out!

@Hadley – It’s okay, because the verb tense was past. And that’s where those habits will stay since you are making a change for life!

@Menden – You are probably right about Michael Phelps. I had forgotten when that was all in the news. Real food, moderation in processed foods, and constant adjustments often make for great success!

@Andrea – Those low fat cookies were evil! I remember those as well. You are amazing!

@Debby – I’m still amazed everytime I visit your blog. Not only the physical transformation, but the mental as well. Great tip on filling up your food day with healthy stuff first, then it doesn’t leave much room for the other!

@Robin – Thanks so much for coming by!
