    Agree with consistency

    My two cents would be... HONESTY.
    Log honestly even if it means adding in all the crap.
    Its the only way.
    You aren't lying to anyone but yourself.

    Don't eliminate foods you truly enjoy, just make them fit into your day, if it's junk food, maybe try and limit it and use it as a special occasion.
