I started journaling a few months ago and it's been horrible for me. Around the end of February I decided I wanted to lose weight, and decided to use a food and exercise journal. I have a channel on Discord I write in whenever I eat or work out, and I keep a running total of the net calories for the day.

Did it work? Yes, I've lost almost 30 pounds.

Was it worth it? A solid no. It's given me some kind of eating disorder, which came with fatigue, occasional blackouts, and all sorts of problems with my GI tract.
