This diary thing has always been my best method, so I'm glad to see that I am not alone! I have a book that lists the calories in the most common foods, so that is a big help. As I think I mentioned once before on here, I made myself an Excel spreadsheet that has a place for marking the water I drink at the top, and then it adds up the calories for me so that I can see how much I have eaten and lets me know how much more I can eat... Now if I could just take a pill that makes me do it!

Very good article, Pat!
I must acknowledge that I have not done the diary thing! However, I do agree that accountability does make a difference and diary is a very strong method of accountability! I can actually think of a number of life-activities that I would probably be better off if I set up a chart to mark what I do and don't do! It's not only the addictive things that I do but the fun and necessary things that I DON't do that bother me!

I haven't quit here people! Just some technical troubles and no time to delve in and fix it all! Will be back before too long, I hope!

Hi there, Carol-Ann! We have probably all had a tough week. Pat has, and I have (sort of) with Coral having a cold and staying home with me 3 days. I can just imagine that Andrea has been super busy with all kinds of unexpected challenges coming her way. Have you heard from Michelle at all? I hope she is okay and will be joining us again.

So get to fixing the blog when you can...

I know how you feel, Andrea...
