YOU ARE NOT ALONE - A companion online community discussion board for The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast with Paul Gilmartin

This is all about confronting our relationship with food. You have to write down an entry (about how you feel) before you eat every meal/snack. You also have to write a stream of consciousness every morning (2-3 pages). I tried this before I visited family last month and totally abandoned it until, well, tomorrow. I have a relationship with food with very little boundaries. I eat to hurt myself for days. I obviously want to change that. Has anyone here attempted food journaling to change their relationship with food? I want to specify because I am not referring to keeping record of every morsel I input.

Cheers!

That's what I had to do in treatment.

That sounds like a really interesting idea.

If you try it, please keep us posted as to your experience.

I honor you in your struggle.

This sounds like a really good idea. I think I'll try it too. I've been having a horrible time with food for most of my life but I haven't been able to "trick" myself out of this year long binge this time. Im not sure what to do or try for it so this will be worth a shot. Thanks!
