I don't want to count and log for the rest of my life, but for now it is helping me develop better habits. And it makes me more aware of what I eat. I was at a Mexican restaurant yesterday and looked at a #2 lunch special - enchilada with beans and rice. I thought, "How much do I really like beans and rice?" I ordered a single enchilada ala carte instead - half the calories and half the cost. I took ten corn chips out of the bowl and sent the rest back. It's about being aware of what you eat and making choices.
