It's helped me, too to log my food intake into a diet and exercise program I have on my Palm. Just seeing the calories in say, a Wendy's frosty gives me pause. And it also sets a daily goal of caloric intake based on my height and weight and level of activity. And then I can project out my weight loss goal to see how many calories I need to "save" in order to lose weight.
Of course, I still binge at times, but I can see the effect it has on how many calories I've consumed. And I can also see, if I exercise, how that also helps.
Bottom line, right now what it has done is help me to maintain the weight I'm at instead of continuing to gain. Once I add exercise, I'm sure I should be able to lose slowly. Now, to find a motivation program....:)
