Hiya I don't have a food diary as yet do you write it on forum or in a separate book? Any thoughts welcome. I'd does make sense to keep a food diary and I guess once you get used to doing it it will become the norm on a daily basis.

Thanks all for the advice I will start a food diary...I think that will help to see if I am getting to grips with SW. I haven't started a SW group yet. I think this will help me on my way of understanding the green and red days and the easy option one. I am finding all this a little confusing...
