Why I’ve added my past food diaries
Even though I was too busy to post my food diaries, I was still taking photos and noting what I ate. But, as I saw my notes pile up, I started to think I’d just pick up the food diary again once work eased up.
When I thought that no one was watching anymore, it started to affect how I thought about my food. A few times I figured I could just keep eating biscuits and no one would know. So I promised myself that I’d add all the food diaries eventually to temper my consumption of food.
I have to keep food diarying if I am to keep losing weight. And maybe I’ll even have to continue food-diarying after I’ve reached my target weight.

I have been reading your notes and I thought you had stopped writing since you had lost a load of weight and didn’t think it was important to continue to do so.
I know I have found that when I stop confessing, my weight starts creeping up. I have just GOT to write in the confessional for me to lose weight. I have decided, I will do that, whether someone is reading it or not.
Keep up the good work Paola, you look fantastic, you have done tremendously well last year and I sincerely hope from the bottom of my heart that you will reach your goal weight very very soon. :)
