my pyramid food chart

Congrats on the positive results and on making positive changes for yourself.

One thing I recently began is using the My Pyramid program offered at http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov/Default.htm (select Assess your Food Intake). It is a bit of a chore to record everything eaten, but the program will give you reccommendations for healthier eating and provide all types of interesting information. If you only do a few days it will be enough to get an idea of what you need to change. I think it keeps me from overeating because I am either too tired to write down what I ate or very conscious about the food choices so I just decline the extra food. It also has help me regain a sense of control, lost as a result of this unpredictable disease.

A friend of mine does Weight Watcher and loves it. Good luck with everything.
