I agree. Marketers will stop at NOTHING to get you to eat their product. Chocolate bars? Yeah don't worry, it's only a "slim" 100 calories! That Chicken Caesar salad at McDonalds, sure sounds healthy doesn't it? Sure, 580 calories later, with a Pop on the side, and your looking at almost 800 calories for a salad and regular drink! What about Yogurt with Pro-whatever-cultures in it, which is good for you! Did we mention most of the taste comes from sugar?
If your going to lose weight, stop eating out for one, or eat out very rarely... no more than once a week, and don't supersize it.
Look at the labels and try to squeeze in working out at least once a day or 4 times a week. Just a half hour each day is all you really need because you got to get your metabolism kick started. Another great way to motivate is to get on a machine at a gym that tells you how many calories your burning. Get on a bike, or a treadmill and check it out. Feels great getting off the machine knowing you've burned up some calories.
