"Journaling" ??

Dear Jean....oh I hear you....I am not so good at it either, but I am goign to try to do a form of it here...but I do know that I was so much better when I was here everyday.
Love, M

Marti:

I was never good at writing down my food ... probably why I always failed at Weigh****chers and other diets. But I keep coming back here and "chatting" in this forum, because I feel a kinship with the men and women. We have all been through the same thing, and together we are a little "family" of sorts. You folks keep me honest about myself. I may not participate in everything ... I still don't like to write down my food ... but I do feel opening up about myself and getting some support online helps me a great deal.

One of the things I learned in therapy is I eat when I'm bored and lonely, and I'm bored and lonely a lot. If I have someone to talk to, I don't put something in my mouth. If I can't talk, I come here and type ... so it's kind of like talking. I'd prefer talking, though, because at the computer, my legs are down and then my knee hurts.

Anyway, I find I keep myself on track if I "chat" with my friends. I know some of you are probably sick of my woes ... I have so many of them ... but I thank you for listening, because I at least have some place to unload.
