The most useful thing about FatSecret is the calorie counter...there are more calories in practically everything than I would have thought!! No wonder it's hard to lose weight without feeling hungry; eating enough to be healthy but keeping calories down is a serious challenge.
I'm working on eating what I call "spa cuisine"--yes, I stole the name from the line of Lean Cuisines, because it struck me as good marketing! When I think of spa food, I think light, probably veggie, but very nutricious and presented in an appealing, pampering way. That sounds much better than "diet food" and more like something I could get used to in the long term. It also sums up my approach to exercise: going to the gym is of no interest, yet going to the Y 5x a week for yoga, Pilates, and dance classes is my hobby! So many of the hurdles are mental--figuring out how to view a healthy lifestyle as being GOOD to myself, not denying myself.
I'm also tapering off my Lexapro, and will see if that has an impact.
