Accountability
Accountability
If you’re reading this, you’ve found my food and calorie tracking diary, which I’ve decided to publish in an attempt to keep myself accountable for my choices.
I struggle with my weight, so I came up with the idea of logging what I eat and drink every day and putting it online for anyone to see. Because I know someone could be watching, I’ll make better and more conscious decisions about what I eat and drink.
