It’s easy to forget about the bits of your kids’ lunches you finished off, the chocolate you grabbed from the leftover Valentine’s candy on your way out the door, or the free samples you got at the grocery store. But while they may not seem like much individually, these overlooked calories can add up quickly. Weight loss journaling could be your path to success!
If you’re trying to lose weight or just get healthier, and you’re wondering why you’re not seeing the results you’re expecting, you may find it helpful to begin keeping a weight loss journal. It can also help you pinpoint unhealthy behaviors you may not have ever noticed before. We can only change what we acknowledge! The benefits of weight loss journaling are undeniable and you’ll be glad you started!
5 Benefits Of A Weight Loss Journal
Weight loss journaling is not the time to get down on yourself about what you’re eating. This is a time to learn and educate yourself on habits. Here are 5 benefits of weight loss journaling you won’t regret.
You Learn How Different Factors Affect Your Eating Habits.
There are a number of things that can affect what and how much you eat, from your location to your dining companions. You may find that you eat more when you’re with your significant other or best friend. Keeping a food journal helps you become aware of these habits, and awareness gives you the option to change.
You’re Held Accountable.
Writing everything down makes it easier to regulate what you put in your mouth, and helps your nutritionist (if you have one) or doctor learn your habits, which helps them pinpoint where issues could be stemming from.
It Helps You Make Healthier Choices.
A food journal will help you figure out where you need more variety. You might notice your diet is heavy in meat and low on vegetables, so you know the changes you need to make there. Keeping track of what you eat will also likely make you think harder about what you’re putting into your body.
You Learn How Certain Foods Affect Your Body.
Include a section in your journal describing how you feel after eating. Soon, you’ll start to notice patterns between certain types of food and whether you feel bloated, gassy, energized, etc. Foods can even affect your mood. Record when you feel good too!
It Shows Your Progress.
The longer you keep a record of your food habits, the more conclusions you can make. You’ll learn what’s working well, what’s helpful, and what’s holding you back. And seeing this progress is motivating! You’ll want to stick to your health plan and achieve your goals.
