Food Journals

I know keeping a food diary can be a drag, but it can also be very enlightening and help you figure out your habits. As you are eating, write down what you're eating, how much and when. Also think about what emotions you're feeling and who you are with as you're eating. Sometimes other people can be a trigger for you to eat more.

Try it for a week and see if there are insights for you to glean from this. It just may help you identify when you are an emotional eater and what your triggers are. For more support, see Laurie's blog on refuse to diet.
