Has anyone else had to do this? If so what do I need to write? I mean I know the obvious, but like did you have yours in a table? I have no clue how to set it out or anything and I'm stressing out which I know is ridiculous... Any help would be much appreciated

Replies W o n d e r l a n d Posted at 7:47 am on Dec. 9, 2008 I keep one anyway, even though I dont have to show anyone. I just write down what I had and how much Pebbles123 Posted at 12:47 pm on Dec. 7, 2008 Quote: from Natsy at 10:12 pm on Dec. 6, 2008 Quote: from Pebbles123 at 9:35 pm on Dec. 6, 2008 Quote: from Natsy at 1:30 pm on Dec. 6, 2008 i keep a diary... of calories though i hate seeing the actual food name written down          Yeah i did that for awhile.    Although i got bored with it so i stopped.    Ummm.    Maybe like    Breakfast: Cerial    Lunch: Sandwhich    Dinner: 3 roast potatoes, chicken, ummm...yorkshire pudding.    That kinda thing maybe? i just do it to track how much i eat because i'm trying to help myself get off mia Why so confused? You can do it for other reasons too you know. dramaqueenxoxo Posted at 10:40 am on Dec. 7, 2008 I was asked to but I refused--- I would've just lied about it.

HeyWolfGirl Posted at 1:38 pm on Dec. 6, 2008 I have to do this to. I set my up like this, for example: Saturday, 12/6 Breakfast: Lunch: Snack: Dinner: Snack: Then I go back at the end of the day and try to think of the positive things like all the nutrients and protein I got during the day. bdfhjl Posted at 1:38 pm on Dec. 6, 2008 google food diary and theirs tons you can set up online, although its kind of annoying to go online to write everytime you eat something, probably easiest to write it in pencil. I think theres some you can print out though from online that have a table set up Pebbles123 Posted at 1:35 pm on Dec. 6, 2008 Quote: from Natsy at 1:30 pm on Dec. 6, 2008 i keep a diary... of calories though i hate seeing the actual food name written down   Yeah i did that for awhile.

Mainly just keep track of the name of the food, how much you ate and how many calories (if you have a certain limit to get to everyday) marmalade Posted at 1:34 pm on Dec. 6, 2008 Quote: from radshelb at 9:29 pm on Dec. 6, 2008 My therapist wanted me to do that once, but I couldn't keep up with it. I was kinda lazy. To be honest I am also too lazy to do one.. especially as I have to plan each page because I'm a friggin perfectionist! Barnhopper Posted at 1:33 pm on Dec. 6, 2008 I keep a food diary, in a huge spreadsheet. It is the best way by far, as you can analyse your diet with ease.
