Do you watch what you eat?

I have been watching what I eat more now that my daughter is eating what we eat. I feel it is very important to set a good example for her. Eating fast food and junk food all the time isn't going to set a good example and is just going to make for a picky eater. Right now she is young enough that she wants to eat everything we eat. So I have made sure we eat plenty of healthy fruits and vegetables. I'm not so bad that I count calories but I do try to keep a balanced diet.

yes, i do, because i have a family history of hypertension so i should be taking care of myself since life is though and its not allowed to be sick, better go vegetarian, opps a little.

Yes I watch what I eat but I don't count calories as I am too lazy for that. haha! For example I ate a lot of sweets today I will not eat anything too sweet the whole week or eat lots of fiber rich foods the next day. I can eat anything but not get fat, still I don't like to take advantage of that gift for I know that everyday I age and my metabolism will eventually go slower as day goes by.

I try to watch what I eat but, alas, I frequently fail in my goals. I have to watch out for salt since I have high blood pressure. Ever notice how much salt(sodium) is in everything? I also try to limit my portion size. Rarely do I take a second helping. For a while,due to money problems we bought some cheap (88cent)tv dinners from walmart. The food is ok and the portions small. I actually lost some weight. Not much variety though. Sigh.

I do try to watch what I eat, but I also try not to diet. I fond that once the idea of a "diet", enters my subconcious all I can do is think about the things I'm not supposed to have. For example, I rarley eat donuts...I probably have only 2-3 a year. However as soon as I think "i'm going on a diet" I have a huge mental battle with myself everytime I walk past a Dunkin' Dounts :-) Instead I just try to adopt healthy eating habits and make an ongoing lifestyle change rather than a short term diet. For example I now eat much more whole grains than I do white flour. That said, if I want some white bread or white rice one night, I will have it...I just make sure to keep the portion low and to not have it every night. Same goes with cookies, or chips...I don't deny myself, but I don't eat the whole bag like I used to. I have found that a little portion control can go a long way. I also really like vegatables so it's easy for me to pad my food with more veggies. Then I feel less guilty for an occasional splurge.

I am trying to watch what I eat nowadays. I am focussed on trying to lose 50 pounds and have already lost 8. Its taken a little while to get back into the exercise but the hardest thing I'm finding is trying to cut back on the foods. Trying to eat a little more healthier, adding more veges and fruits in my diet and cutting out all the take-outs, ice cream, cookies and stuff that my hubby and kids eat LOL.

I watch what I eat. I don't eat fried foods because they are bad for you. I eat a lot of fruit because I like the taste all except coconut. I love vegetables and steam it to keep in the nutrients. So there is all kinds of good healthy food that tastes good so I watch what I eat but I still have plenty to pick from to have a good meal.

I try to and still want to eat some sweets. I eat plenty of fruits, meat.milk and vegetables. I sometimes eat sweets too.

Yea I watch everything I eat go right into mouth, yum, yum, LOL. No serious though I do try at times but it gets so hard. I need extra help on this. I noticed that went I mention about fasting or even think about it I get hungrier than any other time.

I do watch what I eat, and try to get enough proteins and as little carbs like potatoes, bread, pasta and rice as possible.
