Takeaway: Feeling resentment toward tracking your food is like being mad that you have to use a hammer to build a house. Houses have been built without hammers, but how much easier it gets when you just accept and learn how to use a dang hammer.
Embrace the tools at your disposal.
Improving your health means changing your lifestyle. It means learning and mastering new skills.
If you want permanent results, then you have to move beyond “quick results” or “fast diets.”
Fast results = short-lived success.
Skill building = long-lasting success.
Long-lasting success requires learning new skills. Don’t fear the tools that make learning these skills easier for you.
Tracking your food is a skill. Not many people are excellent food trackers when they first begin, but you learn how to do it better.
Food logs are a tool to expedite learning how to eat better.
