I just read through some of your old posts because I'm starting to count calories tomorrow. Just for awhile, I've been eating lots o'junk and want to get back on track. Journaling ALWAYS keeps me accountable!

Hope my food diary posts help. How's journalling going? I think it's a pain in the ass yet somewhat addictive. It is a good way to get back on track and "reset" eating habits. Hope it's going well! =)
