@aerochic42 A couple tricks I've used are:
Keep a wet dishcloth right by what you're doing so you can instantly wipe your fingers. A drink nearby can be handy but dangerous too.
Automatically enter 50 cal into your diary. Then you've planned for your nibbles.1 -
Just one today.no store bought treats. I'll know they'll be around due to the sign from the social committee and I'm not saying no treats just nothing storebought. They don't usually taste that good and aren't worth it.2

JFT:
1. Only one cup of coffee unless it is drunk black and plain.
2. Only eat the food I brought/planned
3. 2 loads of laundry
4. continue to unpack/clean from trip (clean clothes suitcase, electronics bag, wipe off fridge freezer, find the counters again, etc)
5. brush/floss before bed1 -
since I often just repeat, let's go with weekly goals with daily checkin. actually let's go with a new thought experiment as well. each goal completed is a point with a weekly goal of 30 (I have no idea if that is a good number, but it seems like a good place to start). If I'm really kicking butt I can redefine my goal points. Points are all or none, so say for number 3, any eating of office candy means no point for that day for that goal.
1. Brush before bed, bonus points for flossing as well
2. Only one cup of coffee unless it is drunk black and plain.
3. Only eat the food I brought/planned (that includes no munching while cooking)
4. at least one office workout a day1 -
For Monday:
1. Journal every bite, good or bad
2. Drink my water - 8 glasses
3. No ice cream before bed
4. Reach my step goal
5. Put a smile in my voice
6. Work on being okay with who I am. Self-confidence.0 -

I did pretty good yesterday, but realized today that I need a penalty system for my don'ts For instance, item 3 is actually a don't (Don't eat office food), but once I had a donut, I decided it didn't matter because I already wasn't getting the point for that item, so why not eat more. So new rule starting tomorrow morning. For the don'ts zero points once I cave the first time and negative points thereafter. Therefore when I go for that second piece of whatever it's a point. This should push me to change my mentalities2 -

Just missed my water goal by a glass. Struggle drinking water during the day, but then I'm really thirsty beginning around 7 or 8 in the evening and have to get up all night and run to bathroom! I seriously need to turn this around. Not sure if I hit my step goal since my FitBit lost it's charge but I'm guessing I was probably a little shy.
I'm keeping my goals pretty straight-forward and no more than 5 or 6 a day. Once I conquer these, I can add more or replace them with something new.
Today is almost over but I'll still post what I had in mind for today.
For Tuesday:
1. Journal every bite
2. Drink 8 glasses of water
3. NO ICE CREAM tonight
4. Low carb meals
5. 30 minutes of activity of some kind today.
6. Be confident at work.0 -
