After evaluating my current diet vs. the big difference in how I was eating before, I come to a realization of how I gained all those extra pounds.  I was consuming at least 10 cups of coffee a day with added no fat hazelnut coffee creamer. I assumed that since it was fat free and liquid, that it didn't matter.  Boy was I wrong, with the amount of coffeemate I added - each cup of coffee was well over 100 calories per cup, that is 1000 extra calories a day. 

I have now eliminated that from my diet and found some fat free regular coffeemate and carefully measure 1 tablespoon - 30 calories.  I have one or two cups a day, and if I want more coffee, I now drink it black.

This was a nice discovery.
