Thank you, VeggieMinded. Now that I've been counting and been aware of how much I'm eating for a while, I'm trying to change what I eat. I did South Beach before I was pregnant and between that and exercise, I lost 20 lbs. Now I still kind of eat like I am on South Beach (lots of fats, peanut butter, nuts, eggs, cheese) but I'm trying to transition over to eating more good carbs and buying fruits and veggies to munch on. I like eating fruits and veggies but they are nearly non-existent in my in-laws house. I already have kind of an aversion to high-sugar foods with a few exceptions, so that helps with all the pre-packaged junk coming in the door.
