Has anyone kept a food diary? I don't mean for counting calories, etc, but for changing certain eating habits in a constructive way. I'm not looking to reach a target weight, but I need to address my sweet tooth which is bad and basically on autopilot. I can't use a microwave at work because they don't allow hot food outside of the canteen (food there can be hit and miss), and the nearest shops are a 10-15 minute walk both ways, and not always practical due to weather or time. I bring in lunch (sandwich) and some fruit, but it's hard not to snack as I have breakfast at about 6:25am, and get home usually 6:45-7:30pm. As said, outside of the canteen there is basically nothing on site other than vending machines and hot drinks. I keep some seeds in my desk drawer, but I don't think I can keep food there all the time.
I need to address chocolate and biscuits - thinking that might be a place to start. It will be hard, I'm sure. I have been thinking of keeping a notebook or log of what I eat. My mother has a big birthday soon, so it will be hard not to indulge!
