I have found that it is helpful to make out a menu for the week, especially, when you are watching your weight.  I have always made out a menu to shop by, which keeps me from purchasing things I don't need.  I also keep a journal of what I have eaten.  I think I am going to write down a menu for the day just for me in my journal and try to stick to the plan.  I will map out meals and snacks and try to stick to the plan for the day.  Will let you know how that goes.
