Ok. So I just did some checking. And the 'small' changes I'm making are actually pretty huge. See, I eat on average, two packages of Chips Ahoy cookies a week. Just cutting those out of my diet should make a HUGE difference. Check this out. I'm not a big callorie checker but I was curious what I was doing to myself with all those cookies so I checked it out and this is what I found. Eating those cookies every week gave me this:

12,480 Callories
5450 of those Callories were from FAT.

624 Grams of FAT made up of:
195 Grams Saturated Fat
195 Grams Polyunsaturated Fat
156 Grams Monounsaturated Fat

8,580 mg of Sodium!

1,716 Grams of Total Carbohydrates:
including 858 Grams of SUGAR.

That's a pretty big change, even if I just cut down on my intake, but I'm hoping to skip them completely. I can see myself having them as a treat sometime, but it's amazing to me that cutting that out will save me from being subjected to 8,580 mg of Sodium and 858g of Sugar Every Single Week! So...wish me luck!
