    I also think it's totally possible to log your food forever... Well maybe not FOREVER, but I can envision myself doing it for a good long time.

    In fact I just passed 865 days of logging here at MFP and I don't think I missed a day of food logging, even befor MFP was keeping track of log in days!

    It's all what you feel is important. Sometimes logging isn't for everyone And sometimes it's just natural as brushing your teeth.

    Good luck no matter which way you go

    I've taken time off from logging. For about 14 months, I've taken one day a week off, and for almost a year, every weekend and holiday off. And then a few random weeks. And a few random months.

    Overall, I don't mind logging my food, but at this point... sometimes I just want to not THINK about every morsel. Like today. I wanted a couple pretzels. I grabbed a handful from the bag. I didn't want to count or measure a precise portion. With over 2100 calories in my "food budget" today, I know I'm not in danger of any major overeating.

    I like logging and pre-planning my food. My stomach is distended and I have bad grazing habits from being a fatso all my life, so I don't feel like I can "listen to my body" without making terrible choices just yet.

    I tend to go off track when I don't log, although I usually don't log when I'm going away for the weekend, so that could be the real problem! :blushing:

    I disagree with people who say it takes 5 minutes a day. If you're like me and cook a lot from scratch and never make the same thing twice, weighing and entering what can sometimes be 15-25 items per recipe can get to be a real chore. Sometimes I feel like the logging takes longer than the cooking!
