the dreaded "d" word

I have NEVER dieted....yep, you read that right! Never once have I counted calories, participated in the Atkin's/South Beach fads. Hard to believe, huh? But desperate times call for desperate measures! Last year, while I was working nights in the NICU, I lost a ton of weight. Marriage put the weight back on....plus a few extra pounds! So, I am counting my calories....recording EVERY.LITTLE.THING. Ugh! I am not a big fan of the idea, but I feel that I have no other choice. One of my friends told me about a website he was using to record his caloric intake and exercise (www.livestrong.com). He has already lost 15 pounds! I am jealous. I registered for the myplate food diary today. We shall see how it goes....
