Keep A Diary

Yes, you heard me. Keep a diary, a food diary. Write down every little thing you eat throughout the day. Research shows keeping this simple record will double your chances of success and your results. It also doubles your chances of keeping the weight off. Why you may ask. Most people cannot accurately conceptualize everything that is going into their body. When they write it down, people have said they gained "immediate information" and could therefore "see the error of your ways." It forces each individual to own up to their role in their own weight issues and form a "foundation of personal accountability."
