You only need a nanny when you can't take care of yourself or when others are being manipulative against your best interest. I've definitely made decisions based on calories being presented to me on menus. I generally cook for myself and I know what I put into my food. If I'm on the road or with other people I find it really helpful to know that the salad that's presented as "healthy" is absolutely not.  If you feel shame because of what you're choosing to put into your body, that's your own damn fault. Don't blame burger king because you like their food so much that you ate it every day. That's a self control issue.  *Just agreeing with you as always. You're my favorite.
