How did journaling go over the weekend? Was it hard to remember to write everything down when you are on the go without the structure of work?
This is the point. When you are on the go without the structure of work, many of us stop paying attention to what we are eating. With the fridge just a few steps away in the kitchen, are you the person who finds herself hanging out in front of it -- just looking to see if the food status has changed since your last visit?
Journaling doesn't have to be formal. Throw a pad of post-its and a pen on the counter and as you eat and fill them out, stick them into a spiral binder. Get creative and problem solve the situation in a way that seems sensible to you.
Studies have shown that it isn't the plan that determines how successful a person is at losing the weight -- it is how much the person buys into the plan. If you are modifying your behaviors in ways that seems sensible and maintainable over the long haul -- and then reevaluating them as you move through the changes -- you will be successful in losing weight and keeping it off over your lifetime.
