Day 2 (take (I have no idea how many now))

KMC55

I don't know how many times I've started or started over but this is going to be the last time I have to start over because I am going to finish it this time. I had a great Day 1 yesterday and was right on plan and target. Today is going very well so far but the hard part is that I am starting to think of binging again tonight. Step one is to recognize that the thoughts are creeping in and step 2 is to recognize why that is. I know I don't want to binge tonight or fail on Day 2. I can and WILL do this and just staying strong and remembering the goal is what will keep me sane. I am going to be happy with myself and not let food control me. It is not as strong as I am or as strong as God. It cannot have control over me if I do not focus on it and think it will fix my concerns. Deep breaths and keeping busy to FINISH projects, no matter what they are.

I understand. I give up easily and find excuses not to start again. I need to do this for my health, not for vanity. I am starting tonight after putting it off for weeks. We will only fail if we quit, so let's keep going. We may slip and make mistakes, but that is okay as long as we don't quit completely.

Maybe it would help if you tell yourself you can have "it" tomorrow. Whatever "it" is that you want. Because you really can. Knowing you can have "it" might help. Just put it off a bit if possible. Maybe you won't want "it" then. But if you do, well then eat some. Then log it. Then continue.

Thank you for the positive thoughts. I am still struggling. I did well on Saturday, Sunday and Monday were issues. Today is a new day and I am getting back to the gym since that definitely will help with my resolve and will. I am going back to work and back on my routine. I CAN do this and will keep blogging and tracking to make sure I stay focused on my health and well being.
