No matter which specific diet or weight loss program you use, you can
more accurately and effectively manage it with a diet journal. Many
dieters think that when they put on paper their daily feelings,
cravings, troubles, and sins, it helps to lose weight even without
calorie restriction.

Journaling is an effective way to boost your self-esteem. When you
write about yourself, your pet peeves, your insecurities, and your
truths, you see them in a new light. If you have negative things to say
to others, or if you are re-stimulated about a bad experience, you can
put that poison on paper. Getting it out of your body is good for your
health.
You take care of your soul
when you journal. When you choose to eat right, you take care of your
physical body. By combining journaling and weight loss, you are taking
care of your whole being.
Consider a diet journal.
From making a decision to take care of your body, through the process
of losing weight, to your final result of better health, looks and
self-esteem, your records can keep you motivated. You will be able to
keep your perspective on your goal if you have been writing down your
experience.
Try journaling in
conjunction with dieting for a holistic approach to well-being.
Introducing the "Stretch
Yourself!" - a journaling workshop
This is the first
installment of my new four-part workshop, Stretch Yourself! I will post
lessons monthly, each consisting of four chapters. They will be stuffed
full of essays, quotes, prompts, and links, all new and fresh. You work
at your own pace - no pressing deadlines.
Through one-on-one email
interaction with me, you are free to ask questions, offer input, share
your journal entries or prompts and quotes. I will encourage you to ask
yourself questions that will get you digging deep and writing more. It
will make this workshop an interesting and unique way for you to get
the most out of your journaling!
