Happiness lies in small choices made everyday

Five years of hand written food trackers! I know what you're thinking, do I have to do this forever? And like so many things, it depends on the way your brain operates. But my brain loves keeping track because it's calming. Like soothing security blanket that I carry with me, it tells me I don't have to worry about gaining weight this week. Cuz I can pack it on fast, and that's stressful. Leave my journal at home and I'm looking at a couple extra pounds per week, easy.

I posted this picture to Twitter in response to a request by a fitness blog to see some food journals. Little old me also happened to tag Weight Watchers CEO David Kirchoff in the tweet. And whaduyaknow, he replied to say that it was an impressive collection! I've actually met David before in a Weight Watchers meeting. Okay, maybe met is the wrong word, I've seen him. I was too much of a dork to actually introduce myself. But today he replied to my tweet! After living in LA and seeing celebrities all the time you'd think this wouldn't excite me, but it does.

David has a new book out called Weight Loss Boss. Like all Weight Watchers employees he has lost weight and works hard to keep it off. If you want to get a taste for his quick wit and humorous writing, head on over to his blog, Man Meets Scale.
