this is SOOOO hard!

JennVice Posts: 120 Joined: 2003/02/25	2003/03/04, 09:25 PM I dont know how I did it in the past... Just last year I weighed about 45lbs less than I do now. I've never had an issue eating well or exercising. Now it's another story. I've been entering what I eat into the computer for a week now. My calories are always between 1500 - 2000. That's not bad. The problem is I eat soooo many carbs and soooo many fats! I didn't even realize the breakdown of my diet... At first it was like 70% carb... now it's evening out (ex. today was CHO 34 %, Fat 43%, & PTN 23%! ) ... this gets easier, right?

Stay motivated and your motivation will turn in to habit. You can do it. -------------- Nothing is too small to know, and nothing is too big to attempt! Ivan Montreal Canada

Do you have any advice for me? So far I'm way under on calories, but high on fat...BAD!Let me know if you have any ideas.
