Cravings of sugar, cravings of chips, cravings of all those yummy but bad for us foods are something we all struggle with. Myself, my clients and I’m sure you too sometimes.
I'm certainly no stranger to the occasional urge to rip open a chocolate bar, or dive into a bag of my favorite chips - and I'll bet you aren't a stranger to this either. The occasional indulgence isn't anything to be alarmed about, but if you find yourself licking the remnants of these indulgences off your fingers on a more regular basis, you’ll need to practice some control to get in charge of those cravings.
If the answer is “hardly ever” or “never”, you might want to change that! It’s much easier than you think to underestimate how much you’re actually eating and to think that you’re eating healthier than you really are.
When you start keeping track and logging your food and drink consumption (among other things like sleep and stress), you might be surprised at what you find and be able to spot patterns linked to your wellbeing.
Food journaling also keeps you accountable to yourself for meeting your health goals. Knowing that you’re going to have to admit to yourself exactly what you ate can be a game changer when it comes to your eating habits!
