    Today I am grateful to have a friend to walk with on Tuesdays. So much easier to walk farther when gabbing!

    Today I am grateful my daughter was in the hands of skilled doctors and nurses. She had a minor yet emergency procedure done, is in pain, but will recover fully. I'm also grateful her bf made her see a dr. This is particularly important because I am truly not fond of him :( I'm also grateful for close friends who encouraged me (through texts) not to cause him harm during the hours we waited together. Ok, I'm also grateful the stress eating I did afterwards wasn't even worse, lol. Whew.
    God, Grant me.......

    Today I'm grateful that I went out to eat with my son and his girlfriend and did not go over calories, despite the free pie. Solved the problem by only eating the cherry pie filling.

    Glad your daughter is going to be OK and you were able to practice restraint.

    Today I am grateful for an opportunity to spend time with Barbra, Kevin and have a nice meal out. Also fun to go out on the lake in a paddle boat and take a walk. Nice day.

For this I am grateful, and I will show my appreciate for my good health and fortune by caring and respecting my body, with nutrition, and fitness.

    Today I am grateful that I found this thread. I have been struggling for a few months. I do really well with my calories for several days and then I'll have a day that I can't seem to control a thing. It's very frustrating. At one point I was down over 60 lbs. Now, it's less than 50 thanks to what I've gained back. I thought that I was trying to eat too few calories because I do exercise daily. But adding a few calories has not helped at all! It's so very frustrating. I didn't have any trouble controlling myself for the first 60 lbs, why can't I get back into that frame of mind. It's actually a little depressing.

    @68myra happy to know your daughter will recover. @jenniferbertram7165 you can do it you know how now.
    I am grateful for this thread. I am grateful that I have time to paint my daughters old room and that I walked 4 miles today and that I feel darn good today.

    for today...... I am grateful my guardian angel made me look at my gas gauge.
    I am also grateful I am a food addict and not an alcoholic.
    thank you to gayle and NH_1970 :) my daughter will recover from her flesh wound much faster than her mental illness. :) it is what it is, and i pray the serenity prayer quite often.
    happy weekend to all.

    Today I'm grateful to have a comfortable home to live in, a decent job, and lots of opportunities ahead...I've been fighting a bad mood all day, feeling grumpy, but I just need to remember that life could be a lot worse and I need to be thankful for what I have!

    Hi Jennifer, I can relate. It seems it was pretty easy to lose the first 47 but I've been stalled and bouncing around for a few months. Here are some links to info about plateaus that helped me. I messed with my macros a bit and made sure my report actually reflected my gain. Then I just recommitted to my final goal and realized that it is not just a temporary diet but a life long commitment to health. https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/what-causes-a-weight-loss-plateau/

    Today I'm grateful to be alive, and that it's summer, I have a dependable car and nothing major to worry about. Also grateful that everything went OK with my sister's surgery, and that she's going to be OK.

    I got out of bed today even tho I didn't want to. And walked a nature trail with a friend. It was cloudy when we first got there and we thought it was going to rain. But the sun came out and started to shine and it was a beautiful day. I'm greatful for this whole day, but that most of all.

    So today I am grateful that my body has been able to handle the personal best workout I did today without too many complaints, after me not having taken care of it properly for a while.
    I am also grateful that I have food, a safe place to live, clean clothes to wear, and that I have people I love.

    today, i am grateful my oldest daughter is alive. i am grateful i can financially afford veterinary care. i am trying to convince myself to be grateful for a five pound weight gain this week.... perhaps it will help me resist going completely food crazy while on vacation next week.

    Today I'm grateful to find out how easy it is to make homemade chips with a microwave chip maker. Tried potatoes today but want to try other vegetables as well and try baking them too.
