If you journaled last week or are journaling this week, you are awesome! These are some of the questions that you can begin to ask yourselves as you look over your journals and develop an awareness of what you are doing?
- Does anything stand out to you on your Journal?
- Are there any surprises to you on your Journal?
- How many portions of vegetables, fruits and grains did you eat per day?
- Did you eat protein at each meal? Was it lean protein? Was it fried?
- Were your milk products low fat ones?
- Did you skip breakfast daily?
- Did you skip any meals?
- Did you eat snacks between meals and were these planned plated snacks or grazing?
- Did you eat a lot of processed foods and sugar daily?
- Did you drink a lot of calories?
- How were your portions? Healthy or very distorted?
- How many times did you eat out during the week?
- Where did you eat most of your meals?
- Did you eat in your car?
- Did you eat after dinner and before bedtime? What was going on at that time? Is there a pattern going on?
- Did you eat because you were bored, lonely, sad, depressed, or mad? Was there a pattern going on?
Remember how I said that if you overeat by 100 calories per day, you would gain 10 pounds this year. Well, I like to see the positive side of things. As you look at your journal, you will be able to see tons of improvement areas where you can easily save 100 calories in many areas. These can add up to weight loss without a huge diet! Yeah!
