Am I neurotic?

or just compulsive?

I still keep a written food log as well as keeping track of all my intake and exercise on the daily plate, online.  I feel like it gives me an idea if I meeting my protein, carb, and calorie goals.  

Anyone else about as far out as I am and still logging their intake and stuff?  Please tell me I'm not totally nutty and alone in this!!!!!       (Although, I probably AM a little crazy.........I guess I just want to know that I'm not alone in this??!!??  HA!)

Have a great evening everyone!!!!!

There is nothing wrong with keeping track of your daily intake.  'WLS is a life long committment. I write everything down to the T.  Even the calories that I am getting in the Viactiv calcium I am taking.  20 cal. per chew with 5 cal. from fat FYI.  I plan to keep track for the rest of my life.  I am never going to get myself in this predicament again. 

That's kinda how I'm feeling.........if I monitor things everyday, then I KNOW what works and doesn't work for my body and can change the things I need to change.  I guess it makes sense in my warped little mind now!  Thanks!

Makes perfect sense to me - we didn't get to the point of needing weight loss surgery from our "good" eating habits and surgery is not a cure in itself, we have to work it to keep it a success. I don't log it every day - never have - but I will log a typical day here and there to keep myself in check.

I go with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" - if logging works for you, then log away.

I haven't had surgery yet, but I do write everything down as well and I think I probably always will.
I want to make sure I keep on track. I sit down at breakfast with my journal and calculator to see where I am.

I don't keep a log at all anymore.  I am bowing down to you right now.  I think it is great that you still do it.  I tend to eat the same things quite a bit so I know what I am getting.  I definitely get my protein in, so other than that I don't worry about it too much. 

Yeah, your a Nut!  LOL 

No, all kidding aside hats off to you! That is what we are supposed to do!  I have never done it.  Journaling is definitely a struggle for me.  

I think it is good that you keep a daily log. I have tried and just cannot do it. The few times I have it is surprising what I eat.
But it is sort of funny when I go to bed after my prayers I run down in my head all I have eaten and the amounts of protein etc. It's like i can't go to sleep until I do that....And think tomorrow I will have more of this or less of that.

Kudos to you!  You are not a nut! (not for that anyway.)  You are just working the program in a way that you know is effective for you.  That makes perfect sense to me.  Keep up the good work!
