    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.

He keeps coming up with excuses!!!!!! If I tell someone I'm going to do something, I DO IT!!!! Sorry, done with my rant, lol.

    Btw, we have a great time last night at oppotuinity village seeing the "Christmas Lighting" Plus, we found out my daughter and grand babies will be relocated in Washington in March, right behind us, yay!!!!!

    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!

    Log every single bit of the food I eat, since I know I won't be able to get any cardio after work tonight.
    Drink water instead of soda during my drive tonight.
    Bring healthy snacks from home in an effort to avoid the sugary snacks at mom's house.
