So today I made the choice to start writing down everything that goes into my mouth. I stopped writing everything down for awhile because I thought I didn't need to. But after a couple weeks I realized that because I was writing down the food intake anymore, I wasn't really paying any attention to what I was eating. Anything I could get my hands on, was going into my mouth. That's what got me in this situation in the first place. So this morning, I wrotw down my breakfast, and my snack... I am hoping that this will help me to get off this plateau and back into the 260's....still not a great number, but I haven't been in the 260's probably since my freshman year of high school (5 years ago). Also, I am making a choice not to drink soda any more...which I had stopped doing for awhile. But when I'm at work, I get free drinks...so the pop is so easy to drink I just do it. But I'm going back to water, and occassionally tea. But with the water, after awhile it gets boring. So what do I do to not make it so boring? And the scale....when I firsat started on my life styl change, I only got on the scale once a week...but since I gained about 10 pounds back
I get on the scale it seems like every 2 hours...how do I break that habit? I know that it will only discourage me... yet I keep doing it. How did any of you stop looking at the scale all the time? Whether at the beginning of your journey, or anytime thereafter? Any advice? thank you
