How long you keep a food journal is up to you, but most people don’t log their food forever.
Food journaling is most important during the behavioral change process because it forces you to be mindful.
Awareness helps you to make better eating decisions, reinforce your successes, and troubleshoot any barriers you may have.
Once you have developed good eating habits and have created a healthy eating environment, food journaling often becomes less necessary. And once you have the tool of food journaling, it’s always there when you need to pick it up again.
Over the next few weeks, take a few moments every day to record what you eat in your app. Remember, it is the act of journaling that keeps you mindful—which is a big part of the battle!
