Yesterday, I decided to journal my food before and during the time that I was eating it. What a HUGE difference that made. I actually journaled my Wednesday menu on Thursday morning before I journaled my food for Thursday. I consumed 43 points and earned 8. 43 points is the equivalent to about 2150 calories. My recommended intake is 29 points!!! WOW! That's a big difference.
On Thursday, I wrote down all that I had planned to eat and what I planned to do for activity. Being aware made all the difference. I ended up with eating at my target. I actually modified my behavior!!
I am also doing some updating through Twitter and I feel that is making a difference as well.
I think what I realized is that if I make the process an OPEN and HONEST one, I will be less apt to doing the activities that have brought me to 235 pounds once again in my life. I know that my physical ability is greater than most 235-pound women, but my emotional eating skills are helping me to maintain this weight. Knowing that I have to share this information with the world, I hope to change this behaviors of secrecy and shame.
Off to shower and begin journaling day #2!
