I have been missing getting on here, and feel again out of control. So going to get back to taking this one day at a time
So -- just for TODAY
1. Only eat food in the kitchen
2. Drink water in the evening instead of "stress" eating
3. Log EVERYTHING I eat today!
I hope you guys are all doing better than I am! Too much eating over Thanksgiving, and now getting the sugar again out of my system, and getting back in control.
Joan, I so get it! Me too, big sugar and stress induced messups over the holidays. It got ugly. But today I was done and ready to start working on positive changes, "JUST FOR TODAY"
Thanks to everyone who uses this thread. SUPER helpful!0 -

Just for today
1. I will not look back at my failed attempts, but will only look forward
2. No matter what I eat, I will be accountable for it,and log it.
3. Concentrate on drinking more water
I have not been on here as much, and a part of me just wants to give up, and wait until after the holidays. Like so many, holidays, while a beautiful time of the year, are very sad, and I miss my 5 siblings who have all passed away. I think the holidays makes us miss so much what we have lost. But - I have to focus on what I do have, and not let food be my comfort.
SO here is a new start again. Not sure how many NEw starts I will be making this holiday season, but each day can be a fresh day. So - just for today -- only looking forward!

@Joan, you said it! JUST for TODAY, only looking forward.
A wise friend once told me that I can start over again as often as I want, EVERY FIVE MINUTES if I choose to.
Another wise friend, in response to my frustration over imperfect behavior around exercise/eating, told me that no attempt was wasted, every one meant more health and strength in my body.
So one day at a time! HOPE YOUR TODAY IS GREAT! 0 -
