    @jeschepp - Best of luck today!

    And yes, I'm ready. Reminders set on my tracker and morning alarms on my phone. Monday is the day I need to be up earliest (6:00 AM), so I've got extra motivation for getting to bed on time tonight.

    WFTY: DEPTH
    Depth Year - Updates
    I definitely have way too much stuff. I need to streamline my existence, resist adding more stuff, and start using what I have already got. I have been working towards doing this for several years with my decluttering. I need to stop the march of consumerism, and putting money into the pockets of other people by buying things I want rather than actually need.
    03 Jan: This is going to be way harder than I thought. Need to work out strategies and guidelines for what I can and cannot purchase.
    1. I have a stack of books which I haven't read. I will read one of those book a month, and not buy any more books this year. I will source any other books I want to read at the library.
    2. Book 1: The Illusionists - Rosie Thomas ✅
    3. Book 2: Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Gail Honeyman✅
    4. Book 3: Nothern Lights Ch 8
    5. I have closets full of clothes that no longer fit. I will work my way through them over the next two months, and either alter them to fit, or donate them to charity.
    6. 07 Jan: One bag already full and ready to go to the charity shop
    7. I have a lot of Craft supplies. I will optimise what I have before I buy any new supplies. Sticking to this one will be difficult.
    8. 07 Jan: Depth Year: I have Patchwork Craft this morning. I will pick out one of my ongoing projects and work on it to completion. No new projects until I have finished at least 3 ongoing ones.
    9. 14 Jan: Craft Group: working on patchwork project from last Tues.

    @ZizzyBumble My mother,who took the mixed nuts I was mindlessly eating & put them away a few days ago, last night acted surprised when I said no to wine at dinner and offered it again—that’s when I said, “I don’t need the calories.”. Can you enlist your parents’ support?

    I have had so few days of staying green that my goal has become to weigh less at the end of each week, to lower BMI and body fat % and keep hydration at 55% on Monday am weigh ins. Which means not only is this a “marathan, not a sprint” but that I am inching along like a caterpillar.

    @bookmeister86 You explained my approach too, and so well. I def need to start tracking again now new job’s routines are starting to become—-routine.

    (BTW: LOVE new job providing home-based intensive behavioral therapy to toddlers with autism or developmental delays! I get to wear scrubs and skechers everyday, play with preschoolers, and support parents.)

    I haven’t been tracking food intake due to new job and steep learning curve for the software we use. I also missed more workout days but then started going to my gym’s branch in da Bronx (where I now work). It’s a great gym, same friendly vibe and diversity of people as my home gym in northern NJ. So a routine is gradually emerging.

    Been practicing mindfulness breathing every am on 50 min commute to get 11 miles (GWB at 7 am rush hour). Looking forward to moving back to Bronx side of Hudson River and no more GWB traffic.

    @meraki6 OMG if that much melted cheese was in front of me I’d eat the whole thing.

    I’ve been feeling a relapse coming on as I’ve been fantasizing about a pint of double dark choc gelato.

    How do others manage cravings, prevent relapse, avoid binging on fav but unhealthy foods??
    I am needing support and suggestions to try this week.
    Thanks in advance for posting strategies you’ve used that work.
