First DayNov 10 2009 11:56
Today is my first day. I found this site by accident when I was Googling how many calories/fat was in my morning snack. This seems like a great site, especially because it is free!
Truthfully, I guess I have been steadily putting on weight since my senior year in high school and all through college. Everyone kept saying that once college was over, and you start drinking less and eating healthier, that extra weight would just fall off. False. That did NOT happen. Instead, I sit in front of my computer all day and one of two things occur: 1. work is SO busy and I am soo stressed out that I either don't have time to eat throughout the day or I nervous snack eat; 2. work is SO slow, I actually do nothing all day and I swear my body just SLLLLLOWS down.

3. When I don't exercise at night, I'm in a bad mood the next day at work
4. Waking up is the most painful thing ever
Does this ever change? Does one ever enjoy working out in the morning?
How can I make my lifestyle more active? Because for me, the more I exercise, the less inclined I am to eat shit foods, because my body feels so great, why would I want to put terrible food in it?
