I know for me, living alone, it's hard to force myself into a schedule...& I think from dealing with the anorexia for so long & even before it hit, when I would play racquettball with the guys at work rather than eat lunch.....my body doesn't tell me when I'm hungry. It will tell me I'm full after 2 bites most of the time...but it never tells me I'm hungry. Problem I'm not the kind of person who does well on a schedule either....have always been a free spirit when it comes to that.....go to sleep when I'm tired, eat when I'm hungry, & I was lucky when I worked it was flexible hours.....I went...did my job for as many hours as I needed to be there ...usually 10+ & many days longer. Free spirit's don't like schedules which is why my life is as messed up as it is I'm sure. I have problems sleeping & eating....can find other things that are more important for me to do.

We did diary cards in DBT....almost the same as journaling only it points out the things which cause problems or the things I didn't do like eat.....I can't imaging journaling my hunger & full feelings....wouldn't be anything to write down.

It's good to have it down in writing through because the truth really hit's home then....also a good way for you to see & be held accountable for what you do in life....think that's why I have such a difficult problem with it....it takes a level of freedom away...which is good to be accountable for ones actions....just tough though
