sparkpeople

well, happy freakin weekend to ya.

i need to take a quick moment and share a wonderful website with you. it's called SparkPeople.

i was turned on to this by a client in North Dakota, and i have been using ever since! you track all the food you eat every day and it counts your calories, fat, protein and carbs. yes, it has turned me into a person obsessed with food.

i read labels. i count calories. i measure portion sizes (yes, with measuring spoons and cups) and yes, it is a giant pain in the ass.

did i mention that sparkpeople is 100% free? i didn't even realize the site had ads until 3 days after i had been using it. they are placed in a way that you don't even seem to notice them. i LOVE THIS WEBSITE! and if you are looking to lose weight, or just to monitor what you eat, YOU SHOULD JOIN TOO!! and if you join, please, put that i referred you! my member name is triplej2676 and i think i get spark people points when friends join.

i don't really over eat, but i didn't realize how big of portions that i would eat sometimes. i didn't realize how many calories are in certain foods and how many foods are really healthy for you.

there are message boards, recipes (you can even calculate your own recipes) and more. this is a site you should check out.

i hope i lose 20 pounds. wish me luck, all.

What if you're on a hunger strike? Do they call and tattle on you?
