I've been really horrible at tracking my food lately. I think I am more focused on budgeting and detoxing and general healthier living than special calorie counts.
I'm always a little scared to start journaling my food. It's not because I'm ashamed about what I'm eating, or scared of who will judge me if they see it. When I begin keeping track, it becomes an obsession of becoming skinny, and 1,000 calories a day quickly becomes too high. Instead of living a healthier lifestyle, I become focused on calorie counts and a number on a scale.

I need to find a balance when it comes to food and exercise. When it comes to alcohol, however, I think quitting 'cold turkey,' at least for awhile, is going to be good for me. It will also be a significant help towards budgeting.
