When calories shouldn't count...

I can't remember if I've already written about this, but this is what is on my mind right now. Times when calories shouldn't count; liquids, liquids should not affect your diet, liquids should be beneficial. I'm counting frappucinos and soft serve ice cream...

When you're eating alone; the other day Mike stole Amanda's candy bar and I went to bed before him and had a row of chocolate before he came up. That happy moment of self indulgence shouldn't count against me. Nobody saw!

Gummy bears...They're fruit! They should be good for you. Cinnamon bears/santas...Cinnamon is supposed to boost your metabolism so they should be good for you....sigh

I wonder if brussel sprouts were not allowed if I would crave them and if I could have all the chocolate I wanted I would hate it?

Mom, you asked me the other day which is harder, dieting or exercising. Definately dieting. I love exercising now. I love feeling myself become stronger. I hate counting calories, I hate trying to understand it all when every time I turn around the rules change. I'm not on a diet as much as making changes that I can live with. I know, I know, we've heard it a million times and the frustrating part is that the weight comes off a lot slower but my intent is for it to stay off.
