An experiment, and the results

 I have never been a consistent journaller....I find it very difficult to stick with...but like poker face and others have said....I am very mindful of staying within a 5 lb window on my scale weight....I also do journal occasionally for a few days in a row, to see what I'm doing....but I'm a picky eater and a routine eater, meaning that I eat the same things over and over for the same meals, so I think that as long as I keep my portions in check, I eat the same whether I journal or not.

But thanks for the reminder for all that we have to mindful in maintenance, it is never just a "free for all"....and we all need ways of double checking ourselves so that we don't get out of hand and get on that slippery slope of re-gain.
