    What a great thread. I'm just new to the forums, but I'd like to join in here, if that's OK.

    I'm in Australia, so it's already late afternoon. I think I'll post about tomorrow, hoping that will get me in the right mindset to start the day off with success.

    (For 7/12)
    Just for today:
    1. Go for an early morning walk
    2. Drink 8 glasses of water
    3. No sugary treats - even if they're low in calories

    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! :D
