Spare Change and Calories: They All Add Up!
Summary:
Keeping a food journal has helped me realize how my eating habits were hindering my weight loss. Instead of planning meals, I often relied on quick snacks.Article:
My young son, like most toddlers, has a piggy bank. Each evening, he enjoys dropping spare change from his dad’s pockets into it. We've had to empty it several times over the past months because it fills up so quickly. Before we got the piggy bank, the change was scattered on the dresser, creating a mess and preventing us from knowing how much we actually had.
So, what do piggy banks and food choices have in common? Until recently, I wouldn’t have known, but this week I began keeping a food journal. I’ve come to see that calories are just like those spare coins?"they accumulate quickly. Before journaling, my calorie intake was like that dresser mess: untracked and overwhelming.
Since my son was born two and a half years ago, I’ve tried multiple times to shed the baby weight. Yet, it's clear the so-called "baby weight" disappeared when he first cried at the hospital. What I’ve actually been carrying around is twenty pounds of spare change without a piggy bank to contain it.
On the first day of food journaling, I hoped for a miracle solution, and to my surprise, I found one. It wasn't that I ate too much overall, but rather that my choices were the problem. Who knew that a single slice of American cheese harbored seventy calories, with forty-five coming from fat? Snacking on just a few pieces throughout the day can derail an entire plan.
That first day, I simply ate and documented everything. Adding up the calories at night, I realized I needed to make healthier choices. The result was more startling than any piggy bank could ever contain.
Food journaling illuminated how my choices were hindering weight loss and how easy it was to snack mindlessly instead of planning meals. I’ve also embraced another unfamiliar concept: exercise. Like emptying a full piggy bank, I’m now burning off extra calories with much-needed walks.
At the end of your day, are you carelessly tossing your spare change on the dresser, or are you aware of what you’ve accumulated? You can do this. You’ll be amazed at how quickly those nickels?"or calories?"add up. Start banking your calories in your own food journal today!
