Nothing can keep you quite as honest and out of denial in losing weight as tracking your food daily.  Writing down what you ate, the quantity and the relevant information like calories, fat content and protein grams to name a few paints a very clear picture of your eating day.  Especially when we are trying to get a handle on how we have been eating so we will know where to make changes once we decide to lose weight.  If you are resistant to this; ask your self how committed are you to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.  Everything important requires an investment on your part.  Are you willing to make the time to become educated on what you are eating???
