Yay! It's going to really open your eyes to count calories. I know it totally changed my ideas about food and really made me see how much I was overeating without thinking I was. It will be hard and you will probably get upset and throw a few tantrums but it will be totally worth it in the end :) Good luck to you! You can do it. 

Thanks I tried it today and I actually dont knw what I was so afraid of... I guess it's just easier to go into it blind because if you dont set a target then you dont have to worry about being disappointed when you miss it. lol But actually by counting the calories today I was able to make substitions at lunch based on the total calorie intake for breakfast...That was cool... Still a ways to go but I am learning to celebrate small victories! Thanks so much... 

You can also do it the opposite way- like if I know I want to go out to dinner and it is going to be a little higher calorie than usual, I'll make sure to have an extra light lunch. Very useful. It doesn't have to be scary- it's actually very empowering! What's scary is how much we all eat without even thinking about what we're putting into our bodies :) I'm very happy for you that you've started this and I'll be happy to keep encouraging you if you want it :) Sometimes it's nice to hear it from another woman in your shoes rather than our know-it-all men :)
