Daily Eats / Exercise - Wednesday, May 12

Teresa, thanks for your comment to me yesterday about the calories.  Hearing what your nutritionist had to say helped me a lot.  Ultimately I know I just need to find an area that works well for me and forget the pressures I keep putting on it.  So, that's my goal and I'm stickin' to it!  :)   I'm a smidge over 5'8" (hey the smidge counts  ) and seem to be big boned/muscular, so I know my needs will be very different from others.  It'sjust hard to remember that somedays when you're stuck in that paranoid circle of wanting to be perfect post-op. 

I wrote a journal entry last night about binge eating... it was hard to write, but it felt therapeutic to get it out there.
