    Have you done a food diary?

    How did you feel doing it?

    Did it get any easier as time went on doing it?

    Was it help to you?

    Have you done a food diary?
    Yes - I was asked to do one when I attempted recovery, which is probably what you are asking about. But I also compulsively keep one anyway, so I'm not sure if it's the same thing.

    How did you feel doing it?
    Since it's compulsive, I don't really have a problem doing it, it's more a case of panicking if I haven't done it. But I didn't like having to show it to someone, because my food diary is a very private thing to me.

    Did it get any easier as time went on doing it?
    No. It still felt like an invasion of privacy.

    Was it help to you?
    Not really. Since I keep one anyway, I suppose I'm too desensitised to it.

    I did a food diary once but it was for a paid study I was part of. I noticed I wasn't eating any vegetables at all, so I now I try to eat at least one or two a day.
