Get a Big Pencil


I've long known Scott Adams to be very astute at capturing the daily challenges of corporate life. Little did I know that he also had a knack for our daily personal struggles.

There is little doubt that writing down every morsel will help us to be cognizant of what we are eating and will likely result in our eating less. Writing down other details - our mood, where we were, special occasions, etc. - may also help us to see developing patterns. Do you eat every time you get down but not when you are with friends? Knowing that may encourage you to surround yourself with friends whenever you may be feeling blue. Perhaps more helpful is writing out a menu plan in advance and sticking to it.

And hey, if you have a really big pencil, the workout won't hurt either.
