Okay i was totally off my plan yesterday, I wanted to see how i would feel.. First i tired calorie counting.. and that did not work for me because, i got it in my head that i could eat what ever i wanted as long as it fit in for my 2000 calories *wrongo* then i just found counting kinda lame.. and barely recorded what went into my mouth and i didn’t eat enough good stuff.. but i actually had the best sleeeeeep! my bf is sick.. it hit him like a ton of bricks and i started to get the sore throat and runny nose! so i got up before i fell asleep and took some cold meds.. im nipping this now i cant afford to get sick! Im back on plan today and already feel tons better. I struggled with awful awful heart burn yesterday, like how i used to feel before i changed my life! i love getting up really early cause then i have a bunch of time to do what i got to do! I bought more groceries last night:) and I bought my self a book which i cant wait to dive into i love love love her books (Marian keyes http://www.mariankeyes.com/Home ) I got hooked by her writing while ready anybody out there? and this charming man.. they are laugh out loud funny! im house sitting right now.. and i love it!! there house is soo big.. and going back to my small apt is kinda depressing! lol.. OMG.. My bf… started talking about kids and buying a house.. Hes says he isn’t the marrying type… i dont really believe it.. but i dont really care … it seems that marriage doesn’t mean what it used to.. the values.. just are not there any more.. I still need to make my lunch.. argh I also need to point out my new food.. Im weaning off the 100 cal treats.. they are no good for me.. well good at the beginning. But im just snacking too much so i bought regular stuff and just will portion it out! man i dont want to work at all…… at allllllllllllllllllllll. It feels soo good to be back on plan.. i mean yeah i was only off plan for one day but man i didnt notice right away how awful i felt and sluggish.. and well not doing that again. But anyhoo i should…. check the 3fc forum and then make my lunch and pack my bag!
Have greeeeat days!

Good luck to you! It’s always a hit or miss finding what works for you. It took me several years of yoyo dieting in my teens to finally find what works for me this time
I think calorie counting only works if you’re also planning your menu fairly well to make sure you’re eating more nutritious food rather than empty calories. The truth is that you *can* eat whatever you want as long as it totals no more than your planned number of calories, but there is every chance that you will find yourself feeling bad (or developing small health issues like constipation or diarrhea) or that you’re eating enough calories but still feeling very hungry.
Calorie counting is lame. I do it, but I hate doing it. I just can’t succeed any other way.
