Okay, you got me, I'm going to start using it, too. I think it will help.

I honestly think part of my problem may be that I did not consume ENOUGH calories during my Ironman training, and my body held on to everything for dear life, thinking we really NEEDED that stupid fat around my middle. Eating 2000-2400 calories a day was really difficult for me, especially working out in the morning and then going straight to work. I have eaten a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but some days I just waited for lunch. I am getting better about that.

Part of the challenge for me is going to be eating consistently. As much as I hate eating on the clock, maybe that's what it'll take. I imagine what I'm doing is letting my blood sugar drop, starving myself, then eating a large meal, which is dumb. I do tend to eat smaller dinners, which is at least the right direction, but there is this big gap between lunch and dinner. I usually fill it with fruit and a cheese stick, but that sometimes just goes into the "bucket" and doesn't change how I feel. I probably need to be eating actual dinner at that time. :P

Anyway, long-winded... hopefully food journaling will help.
