Hi Kari

You are very welcome! I think one of the reasons I never was too resistant to the journal was that I didn't care what I wrote as long as it meant I was writing it down and was getting better. I had never had the previous shame attached to journalling that so many other people have here. I have done calorie diet plans in the past of course where I had to write foods down, but somehow, even though I was hugely ashamed of the amount of sugar I ate, I was never ashamed of writing it down. I guess I was just very lucky with that one.

So when people have seemed resistant and been struggling with the journal, I always thought "It's because they don't like to see it written down." And I suppose it seems worse when we know our food has been better, of course there have been times when I have relapsed and had sugars, but I always wrote it down no matter what it was, cos I always know it's going to be temporary that I will be on sugar, so it never seems to shame me then either. Just because we have to write down that we have eaten sugars, it doesn't mean we have failed, or are not as good as we used to be, it's just a part of the process, I think. Not something to judge ourselves on.

Glad I could help

Love
