Thousands of wasted calories

I would have sweared on a stack of Bibles that I ate well, and not too terribly much.

Now i DID eat mostly good foods but man oh man was I WAY off on the quantity.:biggrin:

I am in the pre band stages of planning etc and am really trying to be strict with my eating and exercising. I am logging food at sparkpeople.

I truthfully had NO IDEA how many thousands of calories I was overeating.

I know IN MY HEAD that a portion of lets say chicken should look like about the size of a deck of cards....but I always justified that second piece...

I see the graph of calories on spark and see the days that I am not so strict...BOOM up go the calories.

This is where the band will help me. I will not be able to shovel the (even good) food in.....

I love and hate these revelations!
