Recently, I read an article from AOL which reported that people who kept a food diary lost twice as much weight as people who did not keep track of their food intake. I believe this is one of the reasons why Weight Watchers works! By keeping track of every piece of food that goes into your mouth, you are more likely to make smarter choices. Many people complain about not wanting to keep track of calories, weighing foods, etc… Well, how did we get fat in the first place? We must take responsibility for our actions. We must make choices. Do we want to remain overweight and miserable, or do we want to start taking control of our lives? I will choose to take control of my actions and follow the advice of the nutritionists and keep track of everything that I put into my mouth. I have been on Weight Watchers since the end of January, and I feel much better about myself. At this moment, I have lost 32 pounds, and I feel great. I can look at my progress pictures and see the change in my body. I believe in order to lose weight, we must change our thoughts and actions. We cannot act on every little impulse to eat every piece of food that we see. By writing down what we eat (or using an online food diary like Weight Watchers), we can visually see what we have eaten in a day or week. We are more likely to make smarter choices. We can look back at our journals and figure out what helps us lose weight, what causes our weight loss to stall, or what made us gain a little that week. A food journal should be used as part of the overall picture of success. This little tool can help us succeed. Let’s embrace the opportunity to achieve better results by using the tools that Weight Watchers provides. There must be a reason for them, right?
