Like using a map, in order to find the way to your destination, you need to find out where you are to know which path to choose. For weight loss, what are you doing? What habits do you have that are either helping you or keeping you from reaching your goals? This is where keeping a journal is essential, even if it’s only for a few days. While knowing how many calories and what % of carbohydrate, protein, and fat you take in is important, just as important is the when, where, and why you are eating. How many meals do you eat per day? At what times? Do you have times during the day when you are starving and end up binging? Do you eat when you’re upset… sad… bored? Only by recognizing what obstacles we have, can we create strategies for handling them better in the future. So, journal. Write down where you are now.
