Mindfulness and dieting

Ok, so I started off talking about impulsiveness, dieting, and ADHD.
so how do we change that into a more mindful situation? How can I stay more aware of what I am doing?

So far, I have tried, among others, weight watchers and LA weightloss.
both of those programs suggest journaling as a way of being more mindful of what you are eating. Tried that, but what I would end up doing is writing everything that I ate down from memory the day before the meeting! Hmmm.. Not working there.
Now, I DID lose weight on those programs, especially the LA weightloss. ( It cost so darn much that my frugal nature kicked in and made me stay on it 'cause I didn't want to waste all that money!) But I gained nearly every lb back after a stopped.

I have done all the fad diets, cabbage soup, Atkins.. ( ugh that diet made me physically ill! I don't know how others are able to stick to it!), heart association diet, etc etc... None to no avail.

so now what? Well, I have found that novelty helps me immensely, so I tried playing with a diet program on my palm pilot that uses WW points.. hmm, well at least it kept me from GAINING weight...

But still, I know that journaling does help with mindfulness, so I found one other thing:

The thing I am doing now is a computer program called Dietpower. I just type in what I eat, it tells me my metabolism, and how many calories I can eat each day. I am not really sticking to any particular diet. I am just eating what my body needs.

For me and my ADDled mind, it's working so far. It provides novelty, bright colors, charts, graphs, and a fun interface. The amount of calories that I can eat changes each day, so technically its not even the same diet. Plus, it provides the journaling that is supposedly so important.
I've been doing it for 2 weeks now and have lost 6lbs.

Will it last? I hope so. I guess that time will tell ;)
