Counting Calories ~ bleh!

I have never, never, ever counted calories, so when I had to do it last week, I was really surprised by how many calories are in different types of foods! No wonder I've been putting on weight--I've been eating about 3 times as many calories as I should!! I was pleasantly surprised that I was not as hungry as I thought I would be.
