    For today, 6/6/16, I will:

    - Not exceed my calorie goal, for food
    - At drinks tonight, only drink slimline G&Ts - maximum 3 (taking me max 150 calories over my limit)

    Managed to do these, even though I was hungry!

    Also persuaded my friend that I went for drinks with to download MFP - we can be buddies and support each other now.

    Today's commitment -

    - Go to gym after work
    - Finish day with 350+ calorie deficit (after including gym calories)
    -

    Met both of my targets, and actually smashed the second one to the point where MFP told me I wasn't eating enough! (That's never happened before when I've not forgotten to log something)

    Didn't actually feel hungry though despite the deficit, which is encouraging. I won't have that deficit on any other days this week:

    Today going to my friend's for dinner which will make it difficult to stay within calorie limit - the food is generally not healthy and lots of wine is normally involved.

    However, will set the following targets to keep the indulgence down:

    - I'll log the dinner, even if I am not exactly sure what's in it
    - I'll make sure I don't eat more main course than others - no second!
    - If dessert is one where we choose portion size, I'll have a small portion
    - I'll drink as much diet lemonade as I do wine to keep my appetite under control - and will limit wine to half a bottle MAX

For a long time. Without saying anything. It was a good day.

    Just for today: I failed my drivers test. Was tempted to get junk food. Ended up driving home instead. Can't go out and get anything bad, because my brake light is broken.

    Just for today, I am not eating my feelings

    Hmm, so I managed two of these, I'd say - two of these, though probably wasn't really down to my efforts as opposed to my friends giving me a plate with a small portion size!

    Failed on the other two though - had an entire bottle of wine + double g&t, and failed to log any of the calories. It had been a very bad day so i don't feel too bad about it, however I have to make sure this doesn't happen too often - bad days will happen and I need to learn to deal with them without turning to alcohol/food.

    Today's commitment is very simple: come in within calorie goal!

    No, Terri. I can see pretty far out to sea from my kitchen window and it's a small town. When I spot the ship approaching I have plenty of time to walk down to the dock.

    I love this thread!
    Only back here on MFP again today, with a new account, and these are the type of threads I need.

    Today, I'll get myself familiar again with logging every bite on MFP!

    @Derpy_Hooves I purchased a digital food scale from Amazon. When I log, I weigh my food. Then I enter it into the food search feature on MFP like this: "Raspberries raw usda" - that way I get the info in grams which is more accurate than measuring a half a cup of raspberries which isn't as accurate. I usually log every bite, even a sip of milkshake or bite of cookie or lick of almond butter. It makes me think twice about bites, licks, and tastes...cuz I don't want to log them...good luck, and welcome!

    b]JFT Wed 8 June 2016[/b]

    1) Have another great day w/grandson. <3Yes! We read books, flew a dragon kite, made an omelette for lunch, watched Jurassic World, went to Katana for dinner, and made a cookies & cream milkshake. Then he slept in a tepee in Grammy's family room. Now he is up singing. :)

    3) Drink 8 glasses water :/
