More Power To You!
One of the easiest ways to maintain your commitment to a health based lifestyle is to set some time aside to sit down and track your progress.
Don't let the idea of having to "write" get in the way. If you say things like "Well, I can't write so I don't want to do that," then you're missing the point. A free diet journal is not intended to be the next great American novel. If you can hear yourself say it, you can write it!
Use this as a tool with which to reinforce your behavior over time so that your relationship to weight loss instead of weight gain becomes the norm.
