My New Trick

So I've started drinking V8 Juice. It is so freaking nasty. But it's only 30 calories and I'm hoping that it will help to give me the boost of veggies and fiber that I need. It's also something that I can drink when I'm feeling like I need a snack but no I don't really need one.

I've been trying to count calories. I've decided that 1600 is a good number for me. Most of the time I don't even hit it. Then I realized I've been lying to myself about the true amount of some items. Like my Green Iced Tea. I only count 8oz which is 70 calories but I'm really drinking about 16oz w/each cup. I thought I was eating 3 cups of popcorn when I was really eating 8 cups of popcorn.

Have I really been sabotaging my own weight loss? Am I the reason I'm not losing weight?
