Tracking food too much for anyone?



Recommended Posts

I am going to try that, too. I will track my morning coffee in MFP just so that I don't lose my daily login count.

SEE! I am too obsessed with logging. :huh:

Ha! So glad im not alone! I haven't tracked aince before lunch today. Ao far so good. I feel lighter.

We'll see in the morning tho!

I hate tracking food. I loose interest after Breakfast.

I don't track, except maybe in my head. I keep a guesstimate of how many carbs, fats, and Proteins I've consumed, but if I'm off, its ok. I'm not obsessive. The only real effort I'm making at this point (6 weeks post surg) is in getting Protein and Water.

I've done ok so far. I thought I hit that dreaded 3 week stall, then I got a tummy bug and boom... lost 6 pounds overnight. I'm positive most of that was Water, but I haven't gained much of it back, even though I've rehydrated myself.

I wish I could track, I've even gone so far as to load myfitness pal onto my smartphone, but haven't even started using it yet. I don't think that tracking capability is in my brain.

Ok, so I have an update for anyone that was curious about this or interested.

I stopped tracking and guess what happened?? I stopped waking up feeling bloated each morning, and I actually got the scale moving again. I'm going by what my sleeve tells me..versus what the tracker told me. Seems simple to some people, but to a control freak such as myself, letting go like I did was a giant step.

I've even been snacking at night, which one of my nuts have said was a no no, and I'm seeing the scale move. Granted, I'm still choosing the Protein foods first, but still.

I'm still tracking every crumb at 4.5 months out. My surgeon actually said I'm too rigid , but my tracking isn't about to stop. :)
