Journaling

Why did I start this thing? Well, I read that those who journal what they eat, lose 65% more weight than those who don't. That is a powerful incentive! In addition to journalling, it is handy to note how you were feeling at the time you ate. If you periodically review your journal entries this should help you to learn more about yourself and your eating habits.

It is also good to journal excercise and water intake, for the same reasons as above. You may find that when you have your period you never drink enough water or when it is too cold etc, you can then compensate for it, maybe by drinking hot lemon water or something like that -- just having the knowledge gives you the power to make changes.

Here is a link to a quiz you can take to find out what kind of a behavior problem you have. I took it and found it to be quite interesting. You answer about 50 questions on line and then they have overweight people broken down into catagories like:
Foodaholic (Alexander)
Repeat Offender (that's me)
and about 4 other things I can't remember - I found the description to be pretty right on and think it is interesting.
