Healthy Weight: Thought-Tracking Journal

Healthy Weight: Thought-Tracking Journal

Overview

The upsetting situation

Stop: My discouraging thought

Ask: Is that a helpful thought?

Choose: My new, encouraging thought

Example My diet isn't going well right now. I can't lose weight. Why should I even try? Who says I can't lose weight? How am I going to lose weight if I keep thinking like this? I can make good, positive changes in my life. I'll start by cutting back on snacks . . . and pretty soon I'll see the weight start to come off.
