Well sorta. I know tracking works, but my perfectionism is getting in the way of tracking. Instead of seeing it as objective information about what I’m doing, I see it as damning evidence that I’m doing everything wrong.
When I lost 100 lbs, I was a great tracker. I was doing something I called “flore”, flex points but eating mostly core foods (now called filling foods). I didn’t eat activity points or extra weekly points.
I can’t do that now, so instead of owning what I’m doing, I’m just not tracking.
So, instead of tracking online, I got myself a little notebook. I’m starting by just writing down the foods I’m eating–no quantities, no points. Some days I’m getting everything in, some days I stop at noon. But I’m not letting it drop.
How do you get back on track(ing)?
