: Hi everyone
: I have really really struggled with
: the journal but I’m persisting and
: feel like I’m making some progress
: with it. I wonder if I could ask a
: question. Do I write down how I am
: feeling physically and emotionally
: before or when I start eating or
: do I write own what I ate and then
: how that food made me feel
: afterwards physically and
: emotionally?
: Thank you

Hi Fiona,

Neither. You write down how you are feeling whenever you notice it. So if you notice
you have a headache at 4 PM, you write down the time and put headache under the
physical feelings section.

Let's say you normally go to the cofe at 4:30 for an afternoon tea. It has caffeine in it.
At 4 PM you are in caffeine withdrawal so you get a headache. Putting this fact in will help
you realize that you are having a caffeine withdrawal headache rather than a stress headache.

Does this help?
