kmartdollie's Journal, 14 July 2013

I have to get really straight with myself. There are lots of hidden calories in the foods I eat. Right now I am ready to tackle two of them. My half and half consumption has gotten way out of control. I love coffee and I usually drink 3 cups a day - with at least two tablespoons or more in each cup. I am probably drinking 100 calories a day just in coffee with half and half. Wow. I have to be honest. The key to weight loss is honesty about what is coming in and what is going out. I have therefore resolved to drinking my coffee black. I thougt it would be terrible, and I have tried it for the last 2 days, and it is not bad. I think I can go with black coffee and save myself 100 calories a day. Also with this, I am eating way more hummus than what a single serving is supposed to be. It says that the size of a single serving of hummus is 2 tbsp. I am eating at least twice or 3 times that. I eat hummus with carrots and I probably eat it at least once a day. That's an additionally like 300 calories a day. So if I cut out half and half, and I cut out hummus, then I should be able to lose more weight and get out of this slump.

Those kind of calories add up quick. I had to start watching myself too. I can't drink my coffee black, but I'm to the point now that I don't need it or I'll stick to one cup. I also pay attention more to the kind of salad dressing I get. If it's not low in calories I only have 1/2 a serving. So many little things that I think a lot of people don't think about that can derail a diet.
