I am slowly learning how to eat healthy. Like I ate healhty all day and I got home and ate chips and a small bag of gummi's, and starting watching tv. On Oprah i saw Russell Crow and I was like wow! stars dont eat gummi's and chips they look great. So i decided i woud pig out and not eat that tomorrow. Before the show, I was only at 900 calories and doing great. Sometimes I forget its calories not what kind. So if i eat sugar sometimes i freak out and think i have failed for the day. Do you guys feel this way???

I definitely have freak-outs if I eat something bad after being good all day, even if I'm still within my calories. I try not to do it often though, because I believe that where calories come from does count. I don't count carbs or pay much attention to protein or stuff like that, but I do try to keep my sugar intake down.

I am exactly like that. I'm on WW so for me its staying within my points. I feel like I've cheated if I have pizza or something but I know full well I'm still within my points.

I'm just about calories. I do try to stay with the healthy foods and limit my sugar and fat intake but if I want pizza or a krimpet then I'll have it. If I'm within my calorie range, most days and I'm eating normally and intuitively then I'm happy. My life seems better this way. I enjoy what I want but I watch the portion size. Once I get to my goal weight, I don't want to watch the calories. I want to learn to eat when I want to and stop when I'm full.

Agreed. I try to eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full. I allow myself some sweets and some "bad" foods but I make sure that I don't eat "bad" all day. I figure this will keep me pretty binge free and happy. I know that I can't live forever on carrots so why do it now only to burn out and regain.
