Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hello , I have two journals: One is my food journal and the other is for everything else. In my food journal, I write down what is going on in my head when I eat and after I have eaten (thanks to Randy's suggestion) and I also write the things down that I have eaten and don't want to have in my diet as a way of not denying that it happened and saying I want to avoid it. For the last few weeks, I have noticed that when I don't allow myself to feel guilty for the bad choices I make, I justify just about anything and do not self correct...but the guilt is wrong too. Fro the last 5 or 6 days, I tried the jouraling in this new way I mentioned about and I feel great about it because I can flip back and remember how sick I felt from eating the crap and it has prevented a further outburst so far. I am not a fan of counting calories/carbs because I think those restrictions and strict guidelines can lead to binging (at least for me) so as a friend of mine reminds me regularly...take it one meal at a time and try to make the right choices. ~steph > > Those of you who journal, I would like some input. > When you do your food journal are you writing down what eat including > the calories?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Steph - excellent - I couldn't agree with you more - I think about what Rennee said about her client who hadn't binged for two weeks but was upset over eating too much at a fish fry - she said - how did you do the other 13.5 days - she had done very well but only gave attention to the time she did not do as she would have liked --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?
