Exercise:  Start a Food Journal

​

This exercise will give you insight into your behavioral patterns with food. 

Take note specifically of why you’re eating, then determine what you need to do to make changes if needed. 

​

If you feel physically or emotionally unwell after eating, use that as motivation to make necessary changes to your diet.
