I haven't counted calories yet. I'm down 50 pounds. And, guess what - I am not going to count calories - ever.

I eat more vegetables than I have ever eaten in my life. COMMON sense tells me that my calorie count per day is not high. My weight loss has been steady - that has to mean something, right?!

I did crave in the beginning. Yes. But, just like when people quit smoking the cravings get less and less - the desire fades. Of course there are certain foods that I will crave the rest of my life. AND, if I really want something, I'll take a bite. I am not going to deprive myself of anything. I think knowing that really helps me NOT eat high-carb foods. It is my choice and I am choosing this WOE. Actually, I think it chose me, cuz I have never lost weight so effortlessly and steadily without feeling like I was starving to death!!
