Journaling?

Why is journaling making a difference? Judging by my morning weights this week, I will be down on Monday morning. What's the difference? Only the fact that I've been journaling. But why does that help? I guess because if you commit to writing everything you bite, then you think more before you eat? I always tracked the GHG's and my WPA. I didn't keep a food journal. I am now, and for now, at least, it seems to be helping. At the very least it's saving me from the dreaded WPA Amnesia*.

I'm not tracking amounts - just indicating what I've eaten. I'm not tracking my hunger scale, but I always keep that in mind (or try to!) Whatever, it seems to be helping. And, honestly? whatever works.
*WPA Amnesia - a common, but rarely acknowledged side-effect of over-indulgence syndrome.
