Weekend Accountability

I learned something these past two weekends that I believe will do me great justice on this weight loss journey.
I learned that the only way I can maintain accountability for my eating and weight loss is not tracking it.
On the weekends I don't log anything anymore because I make a mental note to judge everything I am eating based on what is in it, how big it is, and the reality of what I can eat for the rest of the day after putting that in my mouth. I eat on the low end of my allowance during the week, so that on the weekend when out with my family I can do everything on the high end.
This has helped me immensely because when I come home and do a mock food log I still don't go over anything. Maybe my calories but nothing else. Which amazes me because these are lessons that I am learning. I never quite understood this concept but I get it now.
I can't log on the weekends because I dedicate them to my family. Granted I do have the first meal in house because no one can make a more sensible breakfast but me. If I eat breakfast at a restaurant it won't be a good look for the rest of the day.
So I'm practicing mental weekend accountability instead of logging my food intake. This way even as the weight comes off and the fat melts away I knew that in there I enjoyed myself in the progress, by not making every food moment a task. I'm learning to enjoy the weight loss journey fully.
