Re: The Line Between Intuitive Eating and Bingi

I agree, I think keeping a journal is definitely something you should choose

based on what works for you. I was very restrictive, so for me the food journals

I used to keep only encouraged my obessesive behvior and restrictions. I knew

the calorie count of everytihng I ate, and the idea of putting " cookie " in my

journal freaked me out, so I avoided foods that I knew were " bad. " Of course,

this only led to my ED behavior, so when I decided to start IE, I chose to no

longer record my foods. For me, it is freeing to not have to worry about

recording what/how much/calorie counts, and I am eating with much less stress

and guilt on myself.
