Focus on emotions

When you’re keeping a diet diary, it’s not just a record of your weight every week. Keep track of what you ate and how you were feeling at the time. You may be surprised at the patterns you see!

This is cool! :) Psychology has to do with eating..so don't be so emotional

This is a good idea. I always used to think that I just ate when I was feeling blue, but I just recently also discovered that I seem to eat when I'm bored, too. A journal of this kind of thing might help to spot a lot of trends.

Good idea! Thanks

Also, check out not only your emotions but your habits. Sometimes I eat just because I'm sitting in front of the television. It's not that I'm hungry, it's just that it's what I've always done. I could eat a big meal, then sit down in front of the tv and start eating chips or peanuts. It's stupid, but it became a habit. Those are the things I need to watch the most.
