I have now read three health scources that suggested that the people who are consistantly healthy by keeping their weight down and eating a balanced diet are those who write down everything they consume every day and chart their calories. Even a stick of gum. Journaling is a good habit to get into, it does not take much time at all and can be kept very simple, but it is one of the most successful ways to maintain your health over a long period of time. After awhile it can become automatic. It also allows you to be in control because you know what you are doing and what you are not.
It will give you balance, an item often forgotten with any other course of a healthy diet.

This actually does work really well.. I have a little planner/diet journal. It also is a good place to record your mood, overall health, menstrual cycle, etc.. Then you can see what other factors are contributing to your weight gain and/or more importantly LOSS! ;)
Excellent! I am going to get one!
