Eating journal
Keep a journal to record your eating patterns. It might look like this:
| Time | Food/Amount | Hunger (0–10)* | Place | Feelings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
*0 = no hunger at all, 10 = very hungry (famished)
Record your intake for several days or a few weeks. Try to notice any patterns in your eating. Pay special attention to things that lead you to eat when you are not hungry. Pay attention to how often you eat out of true hunger and how that feels.
