Ok I'm gonna bite the bullet and post my food journal for the past 9 days, (that I have been posting on a family website) and will continue to do so for awhile here (if yall don't mind too much) and would really appreciate any opinions or insights anyone might have. Don't worry I promise not to get my feelings hurt!
Like I said on the Tuesday daily post - I am not perfect by any means, but I will try to put down everything that I put in my mouth and see if yall see something that I'm not doing right.
