Had one of those, 'so this is why you're fat' moments of rediscovering my health/ nutrition issues. I thought I knew visual guides for portion sizing- especially for cheese- but it turns out I was grossly overestimating the size of 3 dominoes. Now that I have a better idea of what an actual serving size is I can't even begin to fathom how many calories I've consumed in cheese from the past year of gaining weight. Oh how I love cultured dairy products. Apparently they love me too, as evidenced by the extra pounds I've accrued from them. Alas, I will learn to eat in moderation. Just felt like journaling my "d'oh!" moment. Tomorrow's a new day and another chance to stay on track. Here's looking to a better week in portion control. I can do this. I just have to keep telling myself this- among other things- til I finally internalize and believe the attitudes that will help me overcome this weight loss struggle.
