i'm making shrimp stir-fry for lunch, served w/ rice. then i'm having a nice BIG chicken salad for dinner. i love making salads because i put loads of stuff in them and they're always good. and with salad spritzers you don't have to worry about the dressing adding too many calories.(ha! i sound like a commercial).

Let Go of the Trigger
Okay, go get your journal or log in to your online Fitness Diary. As promised, I'm going to start showing you how to break the cycle of emotional eating. Below are two questions. For a week, before you eat anything, whether it's dinner or a small snack, I want you to answer these two questions in your journal. By doing this, you'll begin to distinguish between real hunger and emotional triggers.
1. Are you hungry?
Are you experiencing any physiological conditions that are signaling to you that you are hungry? Is your stomach growling? Do you feel weak or tired? Has it been longer than three or four hours since you last ate? If you concentrate on answering these questions, it will be very easy to determine whether you are genuinely, physically hungry or whether you are eating for a different reason. If you've determined that you are hungry, then it's time to eat. If not, it's time for the next question.

2. Are you depressed or anxious?
Did you just get into a fight? Are you anxious about a work-related deadline? Whatever it might be, write down what you're feeling and why you think you're feeling it. Getting in touch with your emotions here is critical. If you can't, you're going to have an incredibly difficult time reaching your weight loss goals. Dig deep, and get it in writing.

Sit tight — next Tuesday, I'll ask another question that will help you break the cycle of emotional eating once and for all.

No Explanation Necessary
Here's the problem with keeping a paper journal: In order for it to work, you need to carry it with you everywhere. Unless you're a reporter or a novelist, your friends might be wondering why you're scribbling away in a restaurant or at a birthday party. If you don't feel comfortable offering an explanation, don't. You are doing this for yourself and no one else. Do what you need to do to write, even if it means excusing yourself and going into a more private room, the hallway, your car, or even a bathroom.
