How often do you eat because you are hungry? What about for other reasons, such as boredom, anger, stress, or for social reasons?

Try eating when you feel hungry and stopping as you begin to become full. For some people, it helps to keep a food journal where they jot down their hunger level every time they eat. Many people are surprised at how often they eat for reasons other than physical hunger. Identifying your eating patterns is often an early step to improving your diet.

runningbear Mindless eating is a serious diet trap for so many people. A diet journal is a great way to force yourself to think about what you're eating and when, and often it leads you to the WHYs as well.
