You vs. Your Thoughts

It's important to record the emotions that trigger your appetite, and it's important to do it quickly. If you wait even a half day to record them, you may forget exactly what was bothering you in the moment you wanted that chocolate bar. Or worse yet, you might fool yourself into thinking whatever was bugging you really isn't that big of a deal after all. Finally, writing down your emotions immediately means that you can't push them to the back of your mind. They are there in print, waiting for you to deal with them right then.
