keeping tabs

I've been trying to be extra conscious about what I eat since I found out I was pregnant. Using my hormone-induced cravings and hefty appetite as an excuse to overindulge is a no-no. But with so many things going through my mind these days, I can't seem to keep track of how much and what I've eaten. And I hate feeling guilty each time I pop a Hershey's Kiss in my mouth or munch on a handful of chips, thinking I've had way too much of the "bad" stuff already.

The solution I came up with? Keeping a food diary. I found a simple app on iTunes that I could use to help track my daily food intake and downloaded it to my phone. Now, every time I eat or drink something, I immediately note it down. At the end of the day, I look at my list and I can tell if I've been eating right. It's also helped lessen my paranoia and guilt... what a relief!

Now, if I can only keep my diet controlled and healthy until the baby comes out. :angel
