I have a journal but when you're depressed and pretty much every single entry is about "Today's the day! Today I'm gonna change my life! Today will be different!" yet your situation is not improving it gets really frustrating, like you're just running in circles. So no, keeping a weight loss journal did not help me but maybe I'm doing something wrong? Do you have any journal prompt suggestions that help you stay on track or even improve your mental health?
Btw on a different note, what's your opinion on journaling as an act of "self-love/care"? I find the term "self-care" so cringey and corny :S It just sounds so stupid to me, like a cheesy commercial promoting female consumerism. From a psychological point of view I'm sure it's beneficial but labeling it as self-care/love has been overdone in my opinion and these cheesy YouTube videos or Instagram posts kinda ruined it for me, like I can't take it seriously lol.
Do you see weight loss as self-care? I'm especially interested in male redditors' responses, because I feel like the notion of "self-care" is really gendered. (PS I don't mean to offend anyone!)
