Hello friend,
Welcome to Day 13 of the Emotional Eating & Diabetes Course! We’re almost at the finish line, and today’s focus is a delicate but important one:
Tracking Progress Without Obsession
When you’re working to manage your blood sugar, weight, carb intake, medications, and mindset, your medical team or health coach may recommend that you track your day-to-day habits.
And for good reason, tracking helps you stay aware of how your choices impact your health. Having a record can reveal powerful insights, whether it’s food, movement, or emotions.
But there’s a fine line between mindful monitoring and obsessing over every bite or number.
The Problem With Obsessing 🧠💥
When tracking becomes too rigid, you might:
- Feel anxious if the scale doesn’t move fast enough.
- Avoid social events or meals out of fear of “messing up”.
- Tie your self-worth to numbers instead of overall progress.
We want to avoid that. This journey is about freedom, not perfection.
Keep It Balanced 🌿
✅ Track your meals, movement, and emotions daily, but don’t panic if you miss a day.
✅ If you forget or life gets busy, pick up where you left off.
✅ Focus on patterns, not perfection.
Instead of punishing yourself, ask:
What did I learn? What can I do differently tomorrow?
Progress is not a straight line; it’s a learning path and adjusting with love and intention.
