exercise and nutrition pitfalls

I am so good and consistent at exercising lately. I even bought a gym membership today for 6 months. The gym I joined is by my house (about 10-15minute walk). It's clean, the equipment is new, and no pressure, no contract. It's very friendly and I am excited about it. I worked out there for over an hour today testing out all the equipment and weights; and of course, steam room! Anyway, that little rant about the new gym is besides the point...
The point is, I am soo BAD at eating right. My portion sizes are astronomical and I keep eating after dinner. Snacks, crackers, peanut butter, CHOCOLATE chips, etc. I always start off with a healthy breakfast and pretty nutritious lunch and then fuck up after dinner. I have also had some bad news today about a dear friend which doesn't help. The "bored" eating is now "sad/emotional" eating with more than 1 glass of wine to go along with it! I guess admitting it is a first step.
I am going to try and keep a food journal for 1 week. Perhaps that will help me recognize exactly where I go wrong. At least it will hold me accountable for the food choices I make.
