This has changed my whole world. I have never had to worry about what food I stuffed my face with. But after I had Kade and not being 21 anymore I can tell what I eat doesn't come off the second I eat it.
The second I started keeping track of everything I put in my mouth was the second I realized how I wanted everything I put in my mouth to be nothing but goodness. I went the next day and bought whole wheat bread and when I run out of 2% milk I'm going to buy 1% milk. That is just the beginning of how my thinking has changed. I actually look at the calories and other stuff before I buy it and I type in my app what I'm thinking for lunch to see how healthy it is and how many calories. I think I've gone on the little obsessed side, which I totally didn't see coming from myself
For example the other night one of Ryan's friends made chocolate chip cookies and they looked so delicious, so I looked up on my app to see how many calories it was and it was more than I wanted to put in my mouth so I compromised with myself and ate only half.....HALF???? I usually would have at 2-3 yummy cookies. I was more surprised that I had the will power to only eat half.
Another example I made me a salad for lunch today with tomatoes and avocados. I looked up to see how many calories ranch was and it was more than I wanted to eat so I looked up Zesty Italian dressing and it was a lot less so I put 2Tbl ( I actually measured it ) and had a delicious salad.
Also it keeps track of my water intake and what exercised I do. I figured with getting surgery in Feb that I will be down and out for a while so I should watch what I eat.
