Eating - what role does it play in your life?

Losing weight and keeping it off can be very difficult indeed. Most who try usually experience many setbacks and disappointments. People who try and then try again and still fail will often ask "can I really do this?", or "is this really worth it?" Many people spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars trying to lose unsightly weight and finally decide it's too difficult, not worth it, or it's impossible!!

Eating and the preparation of our food is obviously one of the key elements of life. Before starting any kind of diet it would be good to consider what role food and the consumption of food plays in your life. Do you tend to overeat at times of added stress, when depressed, or, possibly when you are happy or having fun? Obviously, we tend to eat or drink more when having fun, at a social gathering, or partying on the weekend. But we may also gravitate toward food when lonely, spending time alone at home, watching TV, or for many other reasons. It might be a good idea to start keeping track of your food (and liquor) intake at these various times. This could give you some insight into your own personality, your emotional makeup, and how your emotions affect your eating habits.
