and here I am once again. For a while now I've been trying to come up with some kind of plan that is realistic and something I can stick to. I've counted calories several times in the past and have had success with weight loss. Recently in the last month I've done an exchange type program to help me learn to eat balanced, portioned controlled meals but I found it difficult during times when I was unsure of what category the food fit in and how to calculate it. I found myself automatically counting calories while doing it as well, it seemed to almost come naturally. I finally made a decision that counting calories is probably more realistic for me since I keep finding ways to go back to it.
I like CC because there's freedom in it. If I choose to, I can eat all my calories from bad things or good things. I try to choose the good things when ever I can. CC doesn't take much effort imo, it's simple especially once you get the hang of things.
My main goal is to eat less than 1600 calories per day. My other goals are to stay away from art. sweeteners when ever possible I get migraines from them, eat whole foods when ever possible because it makes me feel better, get some exercise of some sort at least once every day and go to the gym 3 times a week.
