And before you know it those 5 minutes after each meal turns into 15 minutes a day and that turns into almost 2 hours a week! That’s almost a full episode of the Bachelor, a mani-pedi outting or a FAB trip through Target mindlessly shopping for things you obvi need. So, what would you rather do?
Reason #2
Mental Space
The second of the 3 reasons to stop counting calories is that you’re going to gain SO much mental space. Calorie counting is like one giant game of mental gymnastics. Your mind is constantly adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying numbers. Think of all of the things you could do with that mental space and energy when you STOP using it to count calories! You could learn to knit, read more books, or even actually pay attention to the conversations you’re having.
