<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

I have begun once again to take my life by its reins after having once experienced the joys of being at a healthy weight. One of the things I never had to remind myself of then that I definitely have to push myself to do now is to remain completely accountable in my food journals for what I put into my body all day long. Even if it is an unholy mixture of three different carbohydrate wellsprings, I must swallow my pride, divide up the recipe and calculate for my own good. It is an excellent way to get an honest look at one's numbers for the day and to ensure an accurate adjustment can be made if necessary. It's a straighter path towards the better. I hope this reminder helps you like I know it does me.
<bot>: Strive to be fully accountable with your food intake journals if you do so, even if the numbers make you cringe.
