Does anybody else find that keeping track of everything you eat makes you constantly think about food, so you eat more. I want this to work but I seem to be eating a ton of extra food trying to make sure I eat healthy. I quit smoking a year ago, managed to gain about 15 pounds, trying to loose that and dedicating myself to here I've managed to gain a pound instead of loosing anything.

My reaction was 100% the opposite. By logging my food I saw in black and white how out of control I really was, and how distorted my idea of a "portion size" had become.0

I too think it's helpful to see it in black and white but I can understand where you are coming from. Don't give up on logging yet. I think it just takes time to get used to it. Soon you will figure out what to eat without feeling stress over it.0

Just started today but was on weight watchers point system. To me ,I just didnt follow the program of logging food in the system. Today I was totally on it and it made a difference in the amount of food intake. I didnt think of it as a chore as before. I even joined a exercise class. So here is to commitment and happy weight loss!::happy: Stay encouraged!!!!0

I think there is a learning curve. Before long you won't think so much amount it....while at the same time it keeps you from consuming empty calories without thinking!0
