That didn’t work…
Food February 11th, 2008Keeping the food journal on the blog didn’t work — too much effort to consolidate at the end of the day, and when I didn’t have a half hour I just didn’t do it at all…
I’m going back to paper tomorrow.

Are you just going to post about your day now and then on here or was that your last entry? =(

I’ll keep blogging but just not with the food diary thing. I need a paper diary to keep with me so that I update it from time to time during the day, I don’t have that kind of access to my computer on most days.
I really enjoy blogging but since right now I’m struggling a lot with my weight it’s a harder time to come up with entries - and since I’d decided to do about a week of a food diary on the blog, once that wasn’t working I didn’t know what to do, so I did nothing.
At least I realized that it wasn’t working, so I’m giving up on that approach and on to another one…

A paper log is just as good as one on a blog, I guess–as long as you have some kind of accountability, it’s what matters.
I’m currently trying the blog log as well. I don’t know how long this will last. I can probably write down my meals in my notebook, and then update the blog when I can during the day or in the evening. But I’m still not sure yet if I’ll keep on doing this.

I can sympathize, Round. I’m near giving up my blog and I only just started it less than a week ago. But I hope you don’t give yours up because I think you have a lot to say - even if you don’t feel as if you do. The release of information can lighten your burden. Don’t worry about blogging to make others happy - blog to make yourself strong, whatever that might mean to you - just type it out. Hope this makes sense.

I know what you mean about a paper food diary. I loved my old fashioned WW one where you tick off the number of carbs, proteins and also put in your water and exercise. I love your blog, so I sure hope you keep telling us about all the good things you’re thinking and learning.

Sometimes it is better to stick with what you know works

Keep blogging on paper or a computer. It really does help. And remember you’ll always find supporting comments on here. So don’t be afraid to be honest about stuff that’s bothering you.
