Food Journal... Thats right I said it... Food Journal. Every dieter's worst nightmare..
I think for me the reason this is a bad word is because it means I actually have to own up to what I put in my mouth. Because if it goes in the mouth, it goes in journal.. I just found out recently one of the requirements of the nutrition part of my prereq for surgery is keeping a food and exercise journal. As much as I hate it I will do it because it's on my path to getting my surgery.
Oh and not only am I doing the nutrition classes provided by my Dr. But my insurance is also requiring that I attend a class provided at work called Naturally Slim. That one actually starts a week from Monday and it will take 10 weeks to complete, but it's one less thing I have to worry about after the first of the year...
I am gonna try and get some good before pictures put up of myself. I would like to have a photo journal of my journey so I can see my progress. I think it will take a while for my mind to adjust to the new me when I start really shedding the pounds...
Food journal is scary...but a good thing. It's just another way to be accountable!!! Speaking of, I sat on the couch eating cheetos and thinking the whole time, "Why am I doing this to myself???" What a kick in the caboose!!!
