1330.....

1330 sounds like a big number...and it is, usually. Like if someone says that is how much your car will take to be repaired, or that is the amount that your Grandma gave you for your birthday.That number dwindles to the miniscule when we are talking about calories.

Now I have been on every diet known to man. The Cabbage Soup diet (remember this one dad?) Atkins, South Beach,Weight Watchers, The list could go on and on....Well, I have decided to diet no more. No more diets. Just like Oprah..... Well,she is on a diet and I am too. It just sounds better when you say, "I am not on a diet, this is a way of life." Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a freaking diet! So, I have decided to go back to basics. It is really simple math. You need to put a certain amount of calories into your body, burn off a certain amount, then you get your weight loss. Voila! Unfortunately my diet is a lot like my checkbook. In that case I spend more than I take in. With food, I eat more calories than I burn. So, who knew that there is a FORMULA that tells you how many calories you need to eat per day to lose weight. I have decided for my new "way of life" to find out that magic number, count calories, exersise....the old fashion way right? The no frills diet. Very simple. Except for my number. After figuring it up it comes to, you guessed it....1330. A day! I didn't get to excited about this until I started reading labels. I wrote down my calories yesterday from breakfast and it came to 716!!! It is crazy when you really start to look at the numbers and serving sizes. So, basically we are on day 2 and I am the same that I have been for two freaking days HUNGRY!!!!!!

My only solace is when it is time for bed and I go to sleep.Then I am not hungry anymore.
