If you’re listening, you've probably tracked your food at some point—calories, macros, points. Maybe obsessively. Maybe for a goal. Maybe because it helped you feel in control. 

But here’s the truth: tracking and journaling are not the same thing, and knowing the difference can change everything about how you relate to food.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• When and why tracking is helpful
• The five key components of food journaling that reveal what numbers never can
• How journaling uncovers the real reasons behind overeating, late-night snacking, and feeling out of control
• My personal take on when to track, when to journal, and how to do either in a way that’s actually useful (not soul-sucking)

If you’ve been stuck relying on an app to tell you when and how much to eat—or you’re scared to stop tracking because it feels like free falling—this one’s for you.
