I don't use the SW paper diaries (I always ran out of space!!!!)
. Instead, I have a notebook in which I write down EVERYTHING that I either eat or drink. I don't hand it in to my C.
It keeps me focused, helps me to remember what day I'm doing
rolleyes
and stops me having too many HEX's if I do a rare EE day. It also makes sure that I'm not eating the same thing too often.
Actually, I'm on my second notebook!!
I also make a note of how long I've been doing SW (I can tell you that I'm on Day 238!!!
). I use what day I'm up to as an incentive, I use it as another mini target!!!!
For me personally, I think that SW is so easy to follow that if I didn't have my notebook it would be easy to forget that I'm 'dieting'. Now you may not think that would be a bad thing, but I'm scared that without the 'restriction' of writing everything down, I could very easily start to go astray. Also the 'Mrs Ivy Been So Good' story rings in my ears if I think about not writing things down!!!
