Journal Your Misshaps.

This Sparked Me!

I found that instead of beating myself up after the event, I now record the event in my journal. I ask myself why I made a decision to overeat/overdrink. What was going on at the time. Who was I with. Talking to myself in my journal helps me realise what keeps tripping me up.

MORE INFORMATION:
When you do this every time, you will learn that it's the same people and circumstances that trip you up. Then ask yourself in writting , Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again. Make yourself accountable. emoticon

    I agree! I take it one step further and journal all the days that seemed to go extremely well too. Then later when I ask myself 'How did I do that?' I can go back and find out. emoticon
