So. Here's the deal.
I was at work yesterday updating my food diary with the intention of writing an awesome food diary post for all of you to read today. That's not going to happen.
You see, one of my co-workers spilled water all over my food diary. Not just a little drip that I can manage to mangle a few words from. I mean a big, nasty spill. She basically destroyed it. The pages are wrecked and I can't get back anything that I've written from this week. I'm kind of annoyed at that mishap, but I've learned something this week that I think deserves some mention.
As I sit here in my clothes and shoes, I'm actually planning on running right out and buying myself another one. Because the food diary is working for me.
As I type this, I currently weigh 240. I'm down 10 pounds from the 250 I started this food blog with. I credit keeping the food diary for that. It forces me to hold myself accountable for all my food mistakes, and helps me keep track of all my feelings and emotions about food and other things.
If you have the patience for it, want a more detailed look at your eating habits, and are willing to be honest with yourself, I can't recommend a food diary more highly. It really has made a huge difference for me.
To close out this short entry for the week, I'll share a quote with you that I had on the very first page of my food journal. I plan on scribbling this bit of genius on the next one as well.
Attitude is everything, guys. Don't beat yourself up and tell yourself that you can't do it.
You can. Believe in yourself and things will fall into place.
Until next time.
