    I don't know you but your story sounds a lot like mine when I first started. I read a book by Bob Harper called "Are you ready?". He has some writing excercises to do about your relationship with food. It changed my life. I am learning to not give food power (healthy or not) over me. I started my journey 131 days ago at 402.6 lbs. I could barely move. Today I have lost 73.8 lbs and I have walked three 5K's. I still have treats but I plan it into my calorie count. Before I eat the treat I ask myself, "Why do you want this? Are you hungry, angry, celebrating, etc? Once I know the reason then I make the choice. I try very hard not to eat my emotions (sadness, loneliness, boredom, anger, happy, etc). Since i have come to recogonize when I am using food to stuff my feelings it no longer soothes those feelings. I hope you can figure out what works for you. I think saying "Just for today" is the first step in taking control of your choices.

    Best of luck.
    I just read that this is a continuing post. So "Just for today" I will get up and walk so my legs, heart and mind can be healthy.
    Love your story.

    And I love your story Kara. Your progress is awesome and inspiring.

    Just for today I will base my decisions on what is best for me.

    Just for today: I will not let the fact that I only have 369 calories left for dinner freak me out AND I will get out and exercise this evening so I can eat more. (but stay in range)

    I read through this for the first time today. Sometimes you feel like you are the only one struggling on this journey. It was so helpful to read the struggles of other people. There are so many excuses for not sticking to healthy eating - I won't call them reasons, the journey is long. I forget sometimes that I didn't get this way overnight and I am not going to lose it overnight. Thank you to all of you for being brave enough to share your story.

    Just for today I will focus on healthy eating today and not worry about yesterday or tomorrow.
