I'm glad to hear that it is a mild case. Keeping a food journal is a very good idea, you're very smart to do that.
As for the pills, I take 6 pills a day, so you've still got me beat, but it is habit for me. My sister has to take her pill every day at 5, and what she does is sets the alarm on her cell phone, and when it beeps, wherever she is, she takes the pill.

Good luck!!
