5 Reasons to Write Down Everything You Eat For a Week
Over my last year of high school I put on a lot of weight; I didn’t even realise how gross I actually looked until the final exams were over and I stopped stressing. I decided I was going to change my eating habits, exercise more and become the slimmer girl I used to be. When I began that endeavour, I kept a food diary - I would write down absolutely everything I ate in a single day. This article lists the reasons why this can be an effective step towards weight loss and becoming a healthier person.

Learn Japanese
I have 10+ years experience learning the Japanese language, though I’m still not as fluent as I should be. My boyfriend, Tim, is interested in learning Japanese so maybe one day we can go there together (I’ve been hanging out to visit Japan again since I went in 2004). I’m thinking about signing up to this site so I can help him through the earlier lessons and brush up on my own skills at the same time! Anyone else who is interested in learning a second language should check it out.
Hi, my name is Kara West - welcome to my blog and portfolio! I'm 19 years old and live in South Australia. I'm a media arts student who was studying web development and digital design, but I've taken a break to decide if it's actually right for me! I'm employed as a games advisor and also do a bit of freelance web/graphic design and writing/editing. 
Thanks for the Japanese one! My girlfriend and I are planning on going to Japan in January so this will be rather helpful!
Man, I would love to know the crap that I digest in a week, it can’t be good. Might have to try that sometime soon.
I can’t wear big t-shirts because they make my bum look big, well that’s what I believe.
Belinda - Keeping a food diary definitely make you think about what you’re putting into your body, especially if you fill it out throughout the day instead of at the end of the day.
And I’m sure you can wear big t-shirts, you just need to know what to wear them with to be the most flattering.
Lachlan - Wow! I’m so jealous!!
