Holy shit wtf is America . <| sep |> Right now I don ' t count calories . I try to eat a diet with lots of fruit and vegetables and smaller portions . I do occasionally drink sugared Coca Cola though perhaps once a week and splurge once in awhile with a burger , fries and soft drink at Wendy ' s perhaps once or twice a week . I occasionally have other sweets but not that often . I do a lot of batch cooking to ensure that I have healthy meals during the week soups , stews , burritos , etc . . I have salads quite often as well , though not as often lately as I started getting quite tired of salads . As for exercise , I hate the gym so don ' t go to the gym . Right now I do lots of walking . In the summer I was doing lots of cycling and even cycling to and from work everyday . When I first started my weight loss journey I calorie counted . I didn ' t do that for long though as I just don ' t seem to have the self discipline to spend the time doing that everyday . When I found myself starting to fall off track I would get back into calorie counting again just to get back on track . Hope this helps .
