Would You Tweet What You Eat?
Online communities are huge right now. Who would have ever thought that writing what you eat to possible strangers in cyber space could help keep you accountable? If this seems like a far fetched concept, then think about writing your food down in a little book. For most, writing their food intake down (even if its just to be seen by them) will make them cringe. There is something to be said about owning up to what goes into your body. Here’s a way to embrace what you eat.
Twitter is the trendy social networking location for the 140-character blurb about your life, your business, or your opinion. Some have found a use for sharing health advice. A sampling of the diet and fitness related tweeps you can follow are @eatwithoutguilt, @eatthisnotthat, @fitmenu, @fitmotivation, and @fitcoach2007. Another twitter function is Tweetwhatyoueat. Follow this twitter “friend” to create and maintain a food diary (source).
If you think you already eat healthy, then challenge yourself by keeping track of it. You might be surprised at what you see.

As I was logging my foods in the bodybugg Apex system, one of my co-workers was talking to me and noticed I keep looking at what was on the food label and asked what I was doing…told Jimmy I was logging my foods…he said,” Man what a waste of time”…told him it might be time consuming but if you log what you eat, then you’ll be more aware of what your eating..he said” if I logged what I ate I would kill myself..he’s right cuz every morning for breakfast he goes to the caferteria and get a breakfast buritto, 4 extra sauages, and tater-tots then he has lunch and i cant tell you what that consist of then of course his dinner…he’s so stupid at times…but he’s seriously over weight,,very very over weight and he’s even had the gastro-bypass surgery, but to look at him you would have never guessed..he can barely get up from his desk without growning from the pain in his back and hip…he needs a hip replacement, but too Damn lazy to get it done..all I could do was shake my head…I try my best, Dria to help my family, friends and c-works, but it’s like hey just dont get it..it’s too much of an effort for them..WTH!!
