Weight loss success!

If you want weight loss success you have to write down every bite, every morsel and every spoonful you put into your mouth. Everything. I read this great article this morning about a study done where they measured a group of people who remembered what they ate as compared to what they actually ate on a given day. Guess what? They underestimated what they ate by 1050 calories on average. Yikes - yes 1050!

I learned from Weight Watchers that you can only have successful weight loss when your hold yourself accountable for what you put in your mouth. Writing down everything you eat:

1) Keeps you focused on your weight loss goal.
2) Provides a record of weight loss and weight gain so you can look back at your eating behavior in the different situations and see what worked and what didn't.

For weight loss success you owe it to yourself (and I owe it to myself) to jot notes down of everything we put in our mouth. This is not for the rest of your life, just for the time span in which you wish to lose weight.

Losing weight is well within your means if you just do a few things to help yourself along!!
