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 time, pay attention to:

  • The number of hours between meals and how that affects your hunger level at each meal and the food choices you make

When recording your Emotional State prior to a meal:

  • Start noticing common themes that may lead to you consuming food for comfort or escape

When recording your Emotional State after a meal:

  • Start noticing common themes that may help you better understand your relationship with food
