If you're like most of us, your days are flying past.  Often we're not even aware of the present moment.  Even more often, we're unaware of what we eat and why.

Many of us haven't a clue as to how many calories we take in on a daily basis.  We nibble here.  Finish off our kid's plate there.  Why waste food right?

Well.  Whether or not we are ready to admit it, these calories count too.  And so do your drinks throughout the day.

If you want a better idea of the number of calories you take in on a daily basis, write it down.  Start a food journal.  Record every morsel (Yes! Every single one.).  Don't forget your drinks especially if you tend to go for the more sugery refreshments over pure water.

Be brave.  No one really has to know besides you.  Keep your journal for about a week.  It would be helpful too for you note how you feel before and after your meals.

Then when you feel ready review your journal carefully.  Ask yourself, "What do I almost know about my diet?"
