Weight Loss Planner & Companion Journal
For most of my life, I have struggled with meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking. It’s not that I don’t enjoy healthy foods, and I am not a bad cook, either. But more often than not, I am feeling too overwhelmed by all the steps needed to plan and cook a meal.
I am learning that my neurodivergent brain loves the structure and sense of certainty of having a plan! It helps me be more consistent and intentional while journaling and somatic exercises support me when my emotions threaten to take over and shut me down. Because I am a bit of a stationary geek, I decided to create my own planner and journal. Both help me stay on track or get back on track quickly and have become an important part of my journey.
Obviously, there are many ways to lose weight. I no longer count calories and instead focus on these habits, which I track in my 12-week weight loss planner:
3-Month Habit (a new habit I work on for the duration of the planner)
No-Dinner Days (I skip dinner 2-3 a week to create the needed calorie deficit)
Drink Enough Water (my goal is minimum 96oz; large bodies need more water!)
No Refined Sugar (Abstaining is easier for me than moderating)
Walking, Bicycling, Strength Training, Yoga (my preferred sporty activities)
These are the things that are working for me, and if you think my plan might help you, too, then you are welcome to purchase my weight loss planner and/or companion journal.
Please note that I am not able to customize the planner.

1. 12-Week Planner
This is where I plan and track my food, hunger scale, habits, and goals. This planner is all about being intentional, making conscious decisions, becoming aware of patterns, and adjusting them where needed.
On average, I spend 10-30 minutes with my planner, usually in the evenings, when I reflect on the day and plan for the next day. At the weekends I use the weekly pages to review the week gone by and to roughly plan my meals for the week ahead.

2. Companion Journal
We tell ourselves stories all the time: how we are not good enough, too fat, unlovable, unsafe, a failure.
Journaling is an amazing and proven tool that can help us unravel these stories and write new, healthier ones. I love doing morning pages or cycling to my favorite park for a spot of al fresco journaling. I also grab my Companion Journal throughout the day when I have a craving for comfort food, essentially replacing food with words.
