Schnikes!

Apr 09, 2011

I've never tracked calories before but I took a friends advice and downloaded the livestrong app and created a login.  What an eye-opener!

Today I talked with my therapist, Val, about my thoughts on WLS and my hopes for the upcoming months.  We also discussed my fears and especially my fear that I don't have the discipline.  She said to start with the idea that I am choosing to develop discipline and that we'd start by just recording what I eat every day and the mood I have at the time that I eat.   I would then take this to her each week and discuss how, why, when and what I am eating every day.  Oh Lord...I had no idea I was consuming this much each day.  My thoughts before I recorded todays intake on livestrong were "Gee I only ate half a chicken sandwhich for lunch and half my fries...and I only ate one piece of pepperoni pizza for dinner.  I gasped when I saw the caloric and fat intake.  Feel free to leave comments, suggestions, observations...
