Healing your relationship with food and your body is a deeply personal journey. It often feels overwhelming, especially if you lose sight of the light at the end of the table. This journey is one that requires curiosity, compassion, and reflection.
Journaling can be a powerful and gentle tool to help you process your emotions, challenge old beliefs, and cultivate a more peaceful connection with yourself. Whether you’re working through disordered eating, body image struggles, or simply trying to tune in more intuitively, journaling can offer clarity and grounding.
Below are some intentionally crafted prompts to support you along the way.
1. Exploring Food Beliefs
These prompts help you bring awareness to your unconscious food rules and where they might come from.
● What are some of the food rules I currently live by? Where did I learn them?
● How do I feel after eating foods I label as “bad” or “unhealthy”? Why?
● What would it feel like to give myself full permission to eat?
2. Reconnecting with Your Body
These questions support body awareness and foster a more compassionate relationship with your physical self.
● How do I usually speak to my body? What tone do I use?
● When was the last time I felt safe and at home in my body?
● What are three things my body allows me to do that I’m grateful for today?
3. Breaking Free from Diet Culture
These prompts invite you to challenge the systems that have shaped your views on food and body image.
● How has diet culture impacted the way I view myself?
● When do I feel most pressured to look a certain way? Where does that pressure come from?
● What would my life look like if I focused less on controlling my body?
4. Intuitive Eating Reflections
If you’re learning to listen to your body’s cues again, these can help you get curious rather than critical.
● How hungry do I feel right now? What does hunger feel like in my body?
● What food sounds nourishing or satisfying in this moment?
● How do I feel emotionally before and after eating?
5. Self-Compassion & Acceptance
These are for moments when you need softness, grace, and a reminder that healing isn’t linear.
● If I spoke to myself like I would a loved one, what would I say right now?
● What part of me is hurting, and what does it need to hear?
● What does healing mean to me today?
Your journey toward food and body peace isn’t about fixing. It’s about unlearning, reconnecting, and coming home to yourself. Journaling can help illuminate patterns, soften judgment, and make space for new beliefs rooted in trust and respect.
