Write It Down...Plan It Out

How many days go buy and you feel unsatisfied with the food you consumed that day?
What happens on those days that creates the environment where you eat mindlessly?
How do you feel at the end of those days?

I recommend a few solutions to having a better idea of what you are eating and why you are eating it.

The first one is on the top of the list and the most dreaded...write it down. Purchase a small note book that you can carry and keep for your eyes only. Then every bit of food that goes into your mouth put it in the book.

Also in that book add a column for how you feel when you are eating.
A =anxious, M = mad, AN = annoyed, T = tired, B= bothered, you get the idea.

Then after a few weeks of keeping track of your mood and your food see if there is a pattern. What can you do to change that pattern? Pack snacks? Plan ahead for your meals? Remove yourself from the situation that caused the moody eating? Think about what you can change to have a better feeling and outcome at the end of the day.
