CALORIE AMNESIA… A Breakthrouth
It was NOT the amount that I was eating, but the HIDDEN AND EMPTY CALORIES I was in taking in.
I knew I had to take some action about the way I was gaining weight so fast.
In the last 7 months I had gained 24 lbs. and I had no idea what I was doing wrong.
It got to a point that I wasn’t only shopping for bigger cloths, but I had to buy myself new shoes too.
Scary!!! YES!!! Because…I’m not a big eater…. I don’t binge… I don’t go for seconds… I don’t like fast foods… I don’t eat sweets either… and my portions look pretty normal.
So If an Eating Disorder is NOT the problem … What In the World is Wrong???
Well, In my desperation to find answers I decided to go to the doctor to get a physical and run some test. Everything came back normal and the doctor had no answers for me. NICE!
I was so desperate that I was seriously hoping my Thyroid would come back abnormal and find a solution there. Thank God that’s not the problem!
Now, I can say I found One Answer… CALORIE AMNESIA…
CHECK THIS OUT….
Amazing to know that my 8onz. glass of OJ has 240 Calories and Of Course! I would refill my glass.
And what about the coffee creamer… Wow! 250 Calories in Two Cups of Coffee.
“My Innocent, Small but Loaded Potato” had a total of 490 CALORIES!!!!
The Sour Cream in my Small Loaded Potato (120 Calories)…
and that’s without counting the Cheese (200 Calories) …
and the awesome taste of Bacon Bits (60 Calories)…
So who would know that “My Innocent Small Loaded Potato” had a total of 490 CALORIES!!!!
And that I had drank 730 Calories between my OJ and Coffee Alone…
At The End of The Day With ONLY those three items I had an Intake 1220 Calories. WOW!!!
Pretty Much My Daily Calorie Intake Allowance. What about the rest of the day and eating to survive???
I have stopped looking the other way. No More Calorie Amnesia … And I have lost 6.5 Pounds and 5.5 Inches overall in 10 Days!

Yep, Americans have developed the very bad habit of "add-ons" in their diet. And clean eating is def a learning process…in learning to stay within the healthy food choices. Lean meat, fresh green veggies & fresh fruits, nuts, etc. Good luck w/ your journey & goals. Check out Tosca Reno’s book about clean eating.
And congrats on a valuable lesson learned.

Great blog! Isn’t it amazing how all of the little things that we just don’t think about add up to a huge amount of calories. I will never forget the day that I read a margarita had 750 calories per glass!! That was the last time I ever drank a margarita. I have had people tell me that whoever wrote that was wrong, but I’m not taking the chance!
