Counting Calories

LayMiz · 06-08-2012, 08:52 AM

never really seriously counted calories until now. I am just realizing how many calories I must have consumed on SAD and even on lowcarb!!! Wow, no wonder!!!

PhoebeHerself · 06-08-2012, 09:04 AM

No kidding.

I've never counted calories. Ever. So, this has certainly been eye opening.

Ditto... and ditto again!!!

I always count calories. Until I reach my goal I just cant fathom eating as much fat as I do and not seeing how many calories I'm taking in, because that can add up fast! This is just me personally though, I know many people who dont.

So true...it was normal eating for me to eat 15 wings in one sitting at Wing Stop, drenched in butter and garlic/parmesan! I lost a lot of weight on Atkins, but slowed waaaaaaay down - no wonder

Billions and billions and billions! And, man, I did not want to count or restrict. But it's like what I really didn't want was to take an accurate look at myself in the mirror and I did not want to take responsibility for myself. Well, these days my little mantra is, Freedom through Responsibility. Feels good.

Joyjoy · 06-08-2012, 10:12 AM

Another great saying for me: Honey, wherever you go (and I think of UDs and DDs, here), there you are!

tobelowcarber · 06-08-2012, 10:22 AM

Same here. JUDD has really opened by eyes to how many calories I was consuming before.

I also like the fact that with JUDDD I am using up less of the earth's resources. Win, win!

I always count. Calories are like little demons, if you don't keep them in check they gang up on you lol.
