They will be HIGH calories, because I would rather err on the side of more than less. Don't want to fool myself that I ate a proper amount of food, 'cause I didn't. However, I tried on the Measurement Pants first thing this morning, and they still fit comfortably. Not quite as loose as the first day of vacation (I even wrote on my postcard to Daisy that they were baggy) but only by a slightly perceptible amount. So that's a great relief and I am very pleased that I didn't gain weight with the large and not-so-wonderful food I was eating (more detail about that later).
