Transitioning from MyFitnessPal

Thank you all for your suggestions. My wanting to transition from logging has nothing to do with the time it takes or the measuring. It takes next to no time to hop on to the app and log my food and measuring has become a constant for me....I actually continued to measure some things even during my week hiatus from MFP just because I know how easy it is to overestimate portions especially with things like cereal/granola. My wanting to transition is because have felt to a point that it has taken a control over me almost to an unhealthy point. (I absolutely am not one of the people that restrict calories to below a healthy goal). But, I get so concerned about each little calorie and sometimes forget to just listen to my body. During my training for an upcoming marathon I feel that I have made some definite progress in the mental aspect of balancing logging and not letting it control me...I had an IT band injury and my physical therapist suggested (without knowing I use MFP) that my diet may have had some contribution to my weakness. I also (sorry guys) went close to 3 months without a period. I was following MFP suggestions for calorie intake during this time have come to realize that there is no one size fits all for how much to eat. I have increased my calorie goals and now try to focus on listening to my body rather than focusing on the little calorie amounts (TRYING!! And this is why I was considering trying to transition from logging. For me it is hard NOT to focus on the calories when I see them while logging throughout the day). However, before, if I was getting close to my calorie limit and was still feeling hungry, I would not have eaten anymore for the day but now I will eat knowing that my body is telling me it needs more fuel and that is how I am trying to view my food now..it is fuel for my body.

All this being said, after reading the comments and thinking about what would benefit ME the most, knowing myself, I do think that I am going to need to be a long time logger. As much as I know what I need to do to eat healthy, MFP brings accountability to the equation and I think that for myself...I need that aspect in order to maintain. BUT, I do think that I will try what many of you suggested and perhaps start logging at the END of the day so that I am not keeping a running tally on myself all day long. I think that would be a good balance of keeping myself accountable and also not letting the numbers control me.
