I have a few rules but they don't involve counting or tracking. I basically eat the same things everyday, so I pretty much know the calorie content of everything I eat and don't need to count them. I don't bring fattening unhealthy processed food into the house. I will buy a candy bar at checkout though. And if I want to eat an entire pizza? I do. But I compensate for it by exercising a little more and cutting back on other things for a couple of days.

But my real saving grace is that I love to work out, I love the outdoors. I'm very active. I could eat what ever I wanted, to a point anyway, and not gain weight because I work out so much. But I just feel better when I eat right.

I've seen your food and gardening posts, they really do look yummy, NRaleighLiberal. Congrats on you and your wife's success.
