Episode 63: Can food journaling help me?
Can Food Journaling Help Me?
Last week I talked about 5 signs that your eating habits may be disordered.
One sign is food journaling. What is food journaling? Writing down every single thing you eat or entering meals and snacks into a food diary app. This also may involve weighing and measuring your food for accurate tracking.
This may start out innocently so that you can learn more about the nutritional value of what you're eating and help you reel in so-called "bad" habits. But for many, this can turn obsessive, to the point where we can't eat without consulting our food diary app to see how many calories or macros we have left for the day.
Can food journaling ever help?
You may be surprised to hear that I use it sometimes with my clients. In this week's episode, I talk about when food journaling can be helpful in healing your relationship with food as well as what to look out for to avoid any triggers into disordered eating.
