    @NovusDies I know Therapists recommend CBT Therapy for all kinds of things. If she is starting out might be a good thing work with a Therapist to get into the swing of things. I took CBT Therapy about 10 years ago with a Therapist in regards to my depression and suicidal thoughts and it did wonders for my mindset there. Highly recommend it. I'm doing it alone for Weight Management because I understand what it all entails from doing CBT prior. I hope your friend finds some help/relief. It's a tough road to travel when it comes to feeling your mental state is compromised.

    She just started counseling so it may up in the course of treatment.

    My goal for today is to do a 45 min workout video and hit my 10k fitbit goal.
  • Today’s Goals - Love myself, by always being patient, kind and understanding with myself, my thoughts, my feelings, my actions, and my results. Develop my vanishing to do list. Commit to my plan for the day. Modify my plan for tomorrow. Practice listening to my bodies hunger and fullness signals. Spend 5 minutes in a Grateful Meditation. Spend 5 minutes visualizing/imagining myself having achieved my weight loss goal. Spend 5 minutes reviewing and updating my affirmations. Send thank you notes to friends and family.

    Yesterday Assessment - Great day! Ate 2 to -2 at breakfast, lunch and dinner. No snacks, and 80 ounces of water. Commitment is the willingness to be uncomfortable and overcome all obstacles or options that stand between you and your goals! Failure is ok, as long as I fail forward!

    It doesn’t matter if I am sad or happy...my solution was always to eat!

    Me too, if I'm happy it's celebrating, if I'm sad it makes me feel better - until I don't because I've over-eaten. It's a terrible circle to be in and really hard to break it.

    Today's goals (Mon 23rd Sept):

    > 6000 Steps :|
    > Strength Training :|
    > Accurate Logging :)

    Steps were around 4500, it was torrential rain Mon evening so I did some stationary bike in front of the TV instead. I skipped strength training, I have no excuse I was just feeling lazy.
    Average around 5700 per day for Mon-Weds and did some strength training last night as well as a very intense row.

    Daily goals for the rest of the week:

    > 6000 steps
    > 7 hours sleep
    > No phone 1 hour before bed (excl. on call work)
    > Meditation
    > Complete my journal when at home

    Weekly goals for this week still to be completed:

    > 1 more strength training session
    > 2 more yoga sessions
    > 2500 deficit to achieve weekly deficit of 4000 cals.

    And have come up with my Countdown Challenge for October:

    Yesterday Assessment - Ok day! Ate 2 to -2 at breakfast, and lunch. Ate 3 servings of nuts instead of two as planned, and only drank 64 ounces of water. I seem to find myself eating more than two servings of nuts on days that are emotionally difficult and I am dehydrated. It’s a pattern. From right now forward, I will never eat more than two servings of nuts per day. It’s contrary to my goals, and my commitment to myself and my goals will not be infringed upon by overeating snacks. I am willing to be uncomfortable and be with my emotions at these times. Further, I am committed to drink at least 80 ounces of water daily. This is turning out to be very important in how I feel, both physically and emotionally. Commitment is the willingness to be uncomfortable and overcome all obstacles or options that stand between you and your goals! Failure is ok, as long as I fail forward!

    May everyone have a great weekend!

    My goal today is to get through one more day!.....maybe that sounds harsh but I am finishing up an emotional “ don’t give a damn” week...I am back on track and motivated to lose 25 more pounds before the new year...8 lbs a month is certainly doable...I need to take one day at a time and some days one hour at a time!.....the support from this group is wonderful....
  • All we have is right now. Know that you are loved, and make sure you tell those you love! Have an awesome day!

    I'm the same, I'm astonished that mine has resulted in a maintenance month, even with my current mood I have managed to moderate myself to some degree.
    Tomorrow is another day and a brand new week, we're on it!

    This week is going to be difficult so my only goal at the moment is to be in a deficit each day.
    I'm trying to get back into my exercise plan but don't want to put too much pressure on myself so will play that by ear, I did walk to walk today though so I've actually had a good start to the week.
  • Today - I will commit to my plan, and I will update it for tomorrow! I will also complete my vanishing to do list! Have a great day everyone!
