I am being very careful what I eat, but my calorie consumption has not really been the problem, at least for the last few years, except maybe on special occsions, when I freely admit to overdoing it. I have been too inclined to choose not to eat at all when it comes down to either that or cooking, and my metabolism, is all screwed up. So increasing my activity level is the first priority, and being more conscientious about not skipping meals and about making balanced food choices (i.e., not eating a cup of frozen carrots straight from the bag and calling it supper). The fibro makes it hard to sustain any level of exertion, but somehow I have to make it happen. The arthritis aquatics program at the gym should help with the activity part of the equation; I'm still working on the nutrition part of it.
