Daily Diet
You don’t have to log in every day–but it would help if you kept at least a private journal of what you eat. For one thing, it will make you stop and thinking before just shoveling it in. You will actually have to estimate portion sizes (but you really should use measuring cups for a while–a bowl of cereal is actually about two serving-sizes). And it wouldn’t hurt to figure your calories. For another, it may just not seem worth it to write down that piece of candy that nobody saw you take. But you need to be honest with yourself–it’s the only way.

Breakfast: bulgur wheat w/raisins & a little milk: 180
Lunch: not too sure, probably about 800 calories or so
Supper: don’t even ask!!! (Home-made pizza with whole-milk mozzarella & provolone, Italian sausage, pepperoni, spinach and mushrooms. Absolutely delicious–ate way too much. Back on my diet *tomorrow*!) Probably over 1500 calories just for supper. Now I feel sick, since I’ve added it up and it is actually getting into my brain how many calories I likely ate. The only “bright side” will be if my lactose-intolerance kicks in and all the cheese zooms through my system w/o being much absorbed. 
Total Calories: about 2480 (which, come to think of it, is probably about “normal” for me as of two weeks ago; but no more!)
