The reason I did it is because I couldn't figure out what the heck wasn't working so I wanted to be more conscious of what I am eating including the little tastes of popcorn when I make a snack for the kid, since sometimes what I thought was a little taste turns out to be more like a full serving before I realize it. Let me tell you, I'm learning a lot! I'll keep you updated on how things go, but I have seen a big change in my habits so far. I realized that I do need help, which is fine. Who doesn't need help with something!?!? I've cut down the amount of not great for me stuff simply because I don't want to write down that I ate 5 chocolates, lol! I gave myself control by deciding what I eat and when instead of being at the whim of the food around me and interestingly, I feel less focused on food partially because I just feel more in control overall.
This is just the beginning though. I'm committed to this for a month at least, even if I feel like I have it figured out. I'll check in at least once a week. I think that's good for keeping me accountable and on track!
Have a great Thursday y'all! *love and hugs* Jen
wow, I am on my third day of writing down what I eat in a small diary! I found that I am more discerning with what I eat when I do this! I approximate the calories for each meal and the amount of calories I burn when I go on the exercise bike and then I can have a snack without guilt in the evening! Hope it works out good for you and for me!
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment on my blog! Yes, let's encourage each other on with the food thing! I have been accountable with what I have been eating for three whole days now! That is a lot for me because I have been WANTING to do this for over a YEAR!
