The attached Food Journal will help you understand your relationship with food. It will help you discover your personal patterns of eating that are both helpful and unhelpful.
As you consistently collect data on When you eat, Why you eat, What you eat… You will begin to understand what drives you to eat. You will gain the most valuable information when you record meals that have not gone to your plan. ***Drop the judgment to find answers and solutions.

When recording your Emotional State after a meal:
