It's been 7 weeks since my last meeting with J

Today we talked about the progress I have made with exercise. I have been eating emotional at night lately. We talked about the idea I have that since I have just worked out, I deserve to overeat or have something my body doesn't want. We decided that actually this is just a rationalization for using food to comfort, relieve anxiety, or cure boredom. I am going to try and separate my hunger and fullness from my emotions and then I will wait an hour or two after dinner to decide if I am really hungry for more.

Before my next meeting:
  1. Read the Emotional Eating chapter again
  2. Pay attention to hunger and fullness (separate emotions)
  3. I'm going to look up sprint triathlon training programs
  4. I'm going to swim 2X, jog 2X, and bike 2X a week
  5. Cook 1/week
  6. Cooking show podcast
