Food Journal?

So ive read that a food journal is one of many ways to help people lose weight. I personally find it a bit over-the-top. I honestly cant see myself writing down everything that i eat, just to keep track of my calorie intake. But then, if i cant see myself doing that, maybe i cant see myself ever losing weight.

This actually takes me back 5 years ago when i was religiously following the Atkin's Diet. It was a pretty intense diet to follow, and happened to be the first and last diet i ever tried. Despite the diet being mentally and physically challenging, i have to say it actually payed off. I steadily lost 3 pounds a week, which is a healthy amount to lose in the space of 7 days. The downside of it however, was gaining it straight back once you stopped. So all in all it turned out to be an epic fail :) What i think helped me with this diet was recording everything i ate in a day.Then only i realised how much i was really eating.

Ive decided now that writing down what i eat, is not entirely a bad idea. Fingers crossed i will succeed!!
