Lilith - good for you on the whites ... will that help your diabetes? I think that would be a challenge for me. While I rarely use flour or sugar, I'm sure a fair number of the foods I eat contain them.

I think I might pick up the You on a diet book. I leafed through it quickly one day at Target and it looked interesting.

I really realized today that if I don't write down what I eat/drink in a very quick fashion I really do forget. I think this might have been some of my problem with trying to journal in the evening for the whole day. It also helps me resist the little minatures that one of my co-workers has on her desk because I don't want to have to write those darn things down. I always thought I'd dislike a written food journal, but I'm on day three and finding it works pretty well for me. I stumbled today with my water becuase I was in and out of meetings all day and I really couldn't remember how many refills I had. I guess if the worst i do is not journal enough water, I'm not doing so bad.
