Doing a little experiment...
Good luck with your experiment!!! My motto is: "Whatever works, do it." Some people don't need to be obsessive about it, but I do.
Research has shown that people who journal their food can lose twice as much weight as those who do not. Also, people that are successful at long term weight loss, journal their food, as well as exercise for an hour/day at least 5 days/week. I am trying to get up to 5-6 days/week.
Yep, losing weight and maintaining the loss, involve hard work and mindfulness.
the start of my brand new life was on 5/28/10

I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

That's because I didn't quite finish the thought...
We are about to write and log because we don't run around like chickens with our heads cut off, we still have our heads on...makes it easier to SEE what we are eating =)
