Cant believe how Clueless I was
Im learning so much in this weight loss program Ive been in for the last 2 weeks and cant believe how clueless Ive been about weight over the last 15 or so yrs since I started gaining. I thought that if I tried to go as long as I could during the day without eating that I was going to lose weight or that I was doing a good thing. then if I ate smaller but not paying attention at all to calories. I once went on a fat gram counting diet and that was the closest to doing it the right way. I now know that its very important to eat around every 3 1/2 - 4hrs and to keep my total days calorie intake to 1200 or less. Now that Im being educated on healthy living I think I may be able to do this. I just cant believe the stuff I would put in my body now that I know how packed full of calories it has. For example…this is what I thought would be a healthy choice from the McDonalds menu:
Grilled Chicken Club
sm fries
small drink
this is about 1200 calories!!!!!!!! An ENTIRE days worth of calories. I was so DUMB! Im so glad im in this program now before it got insanely out of control. Yikes!

I know - it is scary, huh….can’t stop at a fast food place without thinking how many points the foos is, and some burgers you get you might as well forget about eating on the diet (I know I caould eat half or something like that)…..
Knowing is half the battle!! Go Darci!
