Taking pictures of my meals while dieting was surprisingly helpful.

I didn't start this with the intention of keeping meticulous records.

I just took a picture of what I ate.

After a few days, I realized I was eating snacks more often than I had expected.

I didn't think the portion was large, but I kept eating little by little.

Since then, I don't just check my weight; I also occasionally look back at photos of what I've eaten.

It was a better method than I thought for looking at my eating habits objectively.
