Journaling what I eat

So, I get on the scale and I'm back in the 240s . . . after getting down to 236.  How could I have gained so much weight so quickly?  I've really been watching what I eat and my thanksgiving was pretty paleo except for the sweet potato pie.  I think it has something to do with my lack of movement in combination with poor eating for the past few days.

To be honest, the days at the beginning of this week were the worst:  I went out for sushi (i got a kind with cream cheese, rice & deep fried)  I think that this is one of the major roots of the weight gain.   And I had Indian food with BFF but I didn't have rice, but I'm sure the palek had cream.   Also, I've been terribly gassy since eating poorly this week.  I wish it go away.  After this weekend, its strict strict strick paleo until Christmas break.  Doesn't look like I'll reach my Christmas goal--to be in the 220s.  I had planned on buying on a new & fitting outfit for NewYears.   *sigh*

I need to journal what I eat whether I want to or not, so that I can notice trends in my eating & weight gain. This is just a little upsetting.  But its my fault, I went crazy this week.  I need to make sure I live the lifestyle, not the addiction to food.
