What a great boy! You are so blessed.
Don't think of the past weeks as time "wasted", but rather as time that brought you to the place you are NOW -
ready for calorie counting!!!!!
For me, it is the only thing that
forces limits on my eating. Otherwise I'm an open ended book. Which is not so good for a compulsive overeater. You'll see as you get into it that it's not all that difficult at all and is time VERY well spent. Make sure you get good value for your calories - delicious, filling and satisfying foods. You may just want to toss all the junk out of your home as well. That precious boy of yours doesn't need it either. Set yourself up for success - remove thy junk - and ADD in good, wholesome, low calorie, healthy foods.
I'm excited for you.
