                    Most of my adult life I have had mental struggles with my food.  Craving things, going back and forth in my head about whether I should eat something, wanting seconds, feeling guilty, promising myself to change this or  that, feeling disgusted and engaging in terrible negative self talk. I just realized that by logging all my food I have done away with all that back and forth in my head.  Now it is a matter of math.  I do or I don't and I know exactly how to decide. What a relief that has been!
