Writing Can Help You Eat Less

Dieters who record everything they eat tend to eat less than dieters who don't write down their foods.
Pausing to find paper and pencil sometimes actually gets you to think twice and ask yourself, "Am I really hungry?" And seeing in black and white precisely what you've put into your mouth can be so shocking that some dieters simply stop over-eating so they can stop writing.

Walk around with a pencil, paper, and a calorie book. Record whatever you eat and tally your calories before you go to bed each night.
