I never said that I wanted to be skinny like Kate Moss, but I do want to see some muscles in my arms, legs and tummy if possible and in order to do it. the FAT has to go.



Most people tell me hey, why do you need to diet? you have a perfect body. Do I? I think that I have a good shape, but a few thing can be changed. I have what some may call a Coke Bottle shape: tinny waist and Big hips/thighs = size 4-8 waist to size 10-12 hips ---> is it easy to shop for pants? I do not want to look like a TWIX bar (my favorite chocolate), however I can lose a few centimeters or inches.



So I joined caloriecount.about.com, which made it actually easy to keep track of my daily calorie intake.



After logging in all my info Caloriecount said:



What we've learned about you...
Your current Body Mass Index (BMI) is 29.3, which means you are mildly overweight. A healthy BMI for your gender and age is between 18.5 and 24.9 and a reasonable weight loss or gain rate is 1-2 pounds a week.



I think anyone will at least attempt to do something, after seeing something like this.



I like calorie count, because it allows me to tweak what i'm eating. I try to update my food troughout the day during my break when I have time. It allows me to know if I can have 2 crackers with water or a steak with french fries (I should really limit this to once a month).

CalorieCount, also made me realize that 1 slice of chocolate cake is the equivalent of a Tuna Sandwich + an Apple...Another thing I won't be able to eat often.



My husband and I went groceries shopping on Sunday and I loaded my cart with the following items:

• Tuna


• Granny smith Apples and oranges


• Whole wheat bread and crackers


• Chicken Breast


• Greek yogurt

Since my husband, is not dieting we also have some bad items which I won't mention here.

Now I need to be disciplined!
