Four days ago I started logging what I eat in a little notebook/journal thing. I thought it would be a good way for me to get an exact look at what exactly im eating on a day to day basis and whether or not im eating out of hunger, emotion or boredom. At the end of each day, I write a little commentary about how I feel about myself, about what I ate and how it feels inside of me. I write whether I ate for hunger or for other reasons. I write how I enjoyed a delicious, wholesome meal or something small that I indulged in with a friend. And so far for the past few days, I haven't been putting a calorie cap on myself. I eat as much as I feel i really need/truly want and I've been eating between 1400 and just under 2000 a day. I have more energy and I really feel like this helping me to normalize my approach to food. Its becoming more intuitive and Im allowing myself to eat proper portions of things that were off limits before. Im enjoying everything more but in a healthy, non fanatical way. And I even lost two pounds already without even starving myself or trying obssesively to "diet." I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I feel like this might be be my final door to normal, healthy, intuitive eating.
