I have a really hard time remembering to keep my food journal. I pay something like $15/month (or is that per quarter) to the Weight Watchers website so I can keep it there, but I frequently forget to use it. I almost never get all of the food I eat in a week actually journaled. I’ve tried a variety of other options - paper journaling, a bead bracelet I made to represent points (like these), all kinds of things. I never remember to get it all down. And if I forget to journal, I wind up giving up on the diet for the week.

I didn’t journal what I ate yesterday, and because I had a vegan club sandwich for lunch and some leftovers for dinner, I have no idea how many points I used yesterday. I will just have to start my journal today and hope I didn’t go too far over points the rest of the week!

I only had a couple of points for lunch, so I think I will go get a snack. I want a Reese’s peanut butter cup or a Slim-A-Bear Klondike bar, but if I can stifle that urge I will get veggies or fruit or cottage cheese.
