30 days Emotional Eating Journal

Yesterday I finished doing 30 days emotional eating journal. I found this on Pinterest, so sorry i cant put it up here, because it's not mine. If you want to try this, you can look it up and try for yourself.

Anyway, this journal contain 30 questions meant to help you to find the core and healing your emotional eating problem. One day for each questions. At first, I thought they were just usual questions. I was screening the questions last month and I don't think it were that hard. Until I got into those questions in the middle...

Basically, they asked about us, our self, what we think about our self and our body, what we think about what people see in us, and our life. I was shocked to find out that the problem of my eating behavior is not about my eating habit. There is nothing wrong with my eating habit and the foods that I'm eating. I try to balance my foods and try to be more fixated to healthy lifestyle, the only problem is I tend to eat everything that my family won't eat. My mother raised me that way, and hey, parents always right, don't they? That's why it always hard for me to stop when is enough.

There are also questions about past and how do you see your life. Some questions made me think for days before I can answer it meanwhile some questions are easy to answer, and some of it literally made me choked. There are things that I never thought of, there's some things that I never know that they're related. Warning, for those who wants to give it a try, prepare for emotional rush, sudden cry, and emotional unbalance while you're doing this journal. I can't think for awhile and just sit there, trying to understand what happen and connect to my own feelings.

People rarely think or talk about feelings these days. You say you love them, they take you for granted. When you're being nice, they thought you're flirting. When you're helping, they asked for more. I think that's why many people don't tune in with their feelings, some of them don't even recognize their feelings. while doing this challenge, that attitude will make it more hard. like it or not, this journal make you keep in check with your feelings. be honest and try to really think before answer each question and you'll se what I'm talking about.

Happy trying!
