I Want To Start A Journal....please Help!

[Kelani]

I want to start my own journal because I think it is necessary. I am more focused when I am here at ADBB reading and responding to posts. If I share me, I will feel obligated to make this second time around work. I've been to the Journals section and still unclear what to do. Help me please

Re: I Want To Start A Journal....please Help!

I've been here over a year and just recently started a journal. I just went to the journal section and started one like I'd start any new thread. jimmie is our journal hostess but unfortunately she may be in the path of a hurricane and may not be able to get to you for awhile. However, if you head on over and just start one other journalers will gladly welcome you. Just jump right in!

I just started my first journal last week too and have found it very helpful. There really are no rules as to what you can post (just no nastiness or anything). Some people just ramble about life, some people post their foods, etc. I try to post in it at least once a day. I try to set my goals for the day or upcoming days. I report how I did with those goals and my feelings. I commit to my exercise for the day. Lots of stuff you can journal. My current goals are no nuts, no diet soda, and to faithfully use fitday...and up my exercise. Since I started my journal, I broke my stall and have lost 3 pounds in the last 3 days. I owe a lot to the journal, as i believe it has kept me accountable for my actions and goals and helped me clean up my Atkins.

So come join us!

Just go to the journal thread and at the top left, click "new thread" then put in your title (it becomes your journal title), anything you wish and then start writing the first page! I started my first one with who I was, my age and about myself, what my goals are and some stuff about me. When you are finished, click "post" and then you will see your journal thread. Viola!

Raises hand! That's me! I'm not very good at following a set way so I tend to ramble incessently but it helps. The better I feel inside my head the easier it is to stick to this WOL. I found keeping a journal to be quite theraputic. (sp?)
