Keeping track of my meals, I realized that the dessert I had was 30% of my daily calorie intake for today. Desserts really do creep up on you. (Update on myself)

I realize now honeslty why I had childhood obesity, you think that "Oh once slice wouldn't kill". No turns out it's 570 calories, and you still haven't eaten lunch, or dinner.

The issue was it wasn't even filling or large. And I just ate it no problem. Dessert really should be something you eat once in a while. I used to eat something sugary or such right after dinner, every night. It always candy, or cookies, or ice cream. It adds up fast. But, I am happy with myself so far, past 4 days I kept under 1800 calories from reading and seeing stuff on here, it's not alot but for once I am actually tracking every, little, thing I've had. I never knew why I felt scared to not put in my meals and such Originally, but I realize now why. I was afraid to realize that I ate too much. I still have a minor issue with sodium, I'm not 100% sure what I can do on there for meals and such, I really would love some advice!

However, The only "sweet" thing I wanted to keep was the creamer for coffee, I can get into going with other stuff, but the French roast I have it's best to have with the creamer. Idk if that counts as cheating. But I'mma try
