So of course we've all heard of sites and apps that you log your food into - like MyFitnessPal, et cetera - but how many people actually take the time to write it out in an actual notebook/journal? I just started doing that. I had a MFP account before, but because their system is whack I was banned due to the fact that I have an eating disorder and I'm not planning on recovering any time soon. (I'm too fat.) My Fitness Pal helped me A LOT, but I've heard a lot of good things about writing out what you've eaten in a notebook. It's physically there, so you can't just ignore it. Because MFP is a site/application I would always forget or just be too lazy to grab my iPod and log in shit. Now I'm just writing down everything and anything I eat, adding up the calories in things and logging exercise. Everything. It's working out quite well, apart for the fact that this day was great until I binged at dinner. I'm such a fucking fatass, and since it was take out junk food I didn't know the calories and info so I just guessed. I'm assuming it was like 1000 calories. I'm fucking pathetic. BUT, having this journal already makes a difference. I'm more weary about eating because I know I'll feel bad if I have to write all that down!
