Journaling felt weird at first - I had a hard time even remembering what I had eaten by the end of each day - but after just one month of telling all to my food diary, I had dropped five pounds. It turns out lots of people lose weight this way.

When he returned to the U.S. in 1900, the Gilded Age was fading, but America was throwing its weight around internationally. Now Twain was not only solvent again but much in vogue--"The most conspicuous person on the planet," if he did say so himself.
