Where Have I Been? ;)

I've been here...tracking my food most days, but missing some too. I want to track every day. So why do I miss days?
Lack of committment?
Lack of time?
Life getting in the way?
We could argue that any of those are true. I have found a way that seems to work for me--tracking in a notebook. I want to lose weight and I know that tracking my food is important to that. But that doesn't mean I like doing it.
Another issue that came to my mind while watching some Oprah episodes is that I have a belief that losing weight is a slow and hard process. But then I rememebered a quote that I have heard Mary Manin Morrissey say several times:

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change

So if I changed the way I looked at tracking food and changed my thoughts on weight loss being hard and slow, then those things would change.
So that's what I'm focusing on right now.
Tracking my food and calories is fun--sort of a game!
Losing weight is easy! I just keep my calories at 1500 and exercise a few times a week and the weight just flies off!
There!
