Food journaling doubles weight loss!

Weight loss is almost guaranteed if you simply write down what you eat. 

"Keeping a food diary can double a person's weight loss according to a study from Kaiser Permanente's Center for Health Research. The findings, from one of the largest and longest running weight loss maintenance trials ever conducted."

It makes sense that if you are aware of everything that goes into your body, you will feed it better, and consume fewer calories. The effort of having to write it down may also make you eat less.

I love books, and journals. Something wonderful and almost nostalgic about writing in a book.

I also use my phone notes app. I always have my phone.
When I can't write, usually because I am probably having a meal with others, and its not nice to have my nose buried in my phone or writing in my journal when I want to spend time with my friend(s), I will snap a photo.

Share it! People love food photos and if you snap a photo and go, so far as to, share everything you eat publicly to your social network, it's like journaling with everyone. They will help you be accountable to your goals.

There is a #tweetmyweight that many also find fascinating. It sends your weight out into the world wide web and makes you feel even more responsible as the world is now watching what you are doing.

Everyone is different and you need to find what will work for you and your lifestyle.

Don't make it a chore! Make it fun or you won't do it. If I have learned anything in this life, it's that, if I'm not going to enjoy doing something, then I'm not going to do it.

Life is short, time is precious. I love my life and am grateful for every opportunity that will make me a better and healthier individual.

I want to do so many things in my life and I can't be wasting time doing something I don't care about. I love my family and friends and because I want to spend wonderful moments with them, I will take care of my body and my health.

I do it for me and the people I care about and that is why I have succeeded!

Wishing you a beautiful day and amazing success to achieving all your goals and dreams.

Love and Aloha,
Maile
