How a Bullet Journal Can Help You Lose Weight

If you are trying to lose weight, but struggling to set the right goals or keep up with your 
daily motivation, using a bullet journal can definitely help. This allows you to know what 
to focus on, take a healthier approach to weight loss, and have a way to check in 
regularly so you keep up with your weight loss motivation.

Keep reading to learn how using a bullet journal can actually help you lose weight.


You Can Set Goals

The first way bullet journals help you to lose weight is by helping you set goals. You 
might set goals in a regular journal, but that is hard to keep track of because that same 
journal might be used for other things as well. With a bullet journal, you have a page or 
section dedicated to your weight loss, tend to use it more often, and have a really handy 
way to set multiple goals and reward yourself when you reach them.

You can set all types of goals related to your health and weight loss, like how many 
pounds you want to lose, ideal measurements, clothing sizes to fit into, healthy foods to 
eat, diet plans to follow, fitness goals, water goals, and so much more. The options 
really are customized to you and what your personal goals are.


There is a Place to ‘Check In’

The great thing about bullet journaling is that you probably use it daily or close to that, 
which gives you an easy way to check in with your progress. You can track your weight 
and measurements, write down what you ate that day or record how much water you 
drank. Checking in is a way to be accountable for yourself and your own goals, which is 
really important if you need accountability that is more private. 


Meal Planning

The bullet journal can also be the perfect place for planning out your meals. This works 
for any type of diet you are following, intuitive eating, and just trying to eat a healthier 
diet overall. You can write down what meals you want to have each week, decide on a 
meal prepping day, write to-do lists for shopping and preparing, and anything else you 
feel will be important for you to keep track of.

Plus, when using future weeks’ meal planning, you can look back on the older pages 
and see what meals you tried that you liked. Now you know which ones to have weekly, 
and which ones you didn’t really enjoy that much.


Other Ways to Track Your Health

Don’t forget you can track anything with your health, not just weight lost. The bullet 
journal is a great way to make sure you drink enough water, get regular exercise, have 
doctor check-ups, and take your medication as prescribed.
