Everything I eat is written in my food journal. Not just a description, but a calorie count. That is part of my commitment to a weight control lifestyle. If you don’t know how many calories you are eating, you are not in control. That also means that your food should be planned in advance. You should have a good idea of how many calories you have available, say, for lunch. It also means that you have to write down what you ate really soon, ideally right after you eat it. You might forget!
Not my best week
When I weighed myself early today, as I suspected – my weight was up from last week. This is my own fault, see the posts from this week for details. It just takes time for the extra calories to get worked through my body so weight loss can begin again. I accept this. Next week is a new week.
I am also traveling this weekend. Travel always throws off my eating schedule, my calorie counts, and my fluid weights. It’s only temporary and I will work through it as usual.
Stick with it! This system has worked for me in many ways and in the short and long term.
