    I am very grateful for this post and all the responses. I can so relate to the one cookie away... I lost 70 lbs 5 years ago and although, thank God, I've kept most of it off, I've slowly gained 20 back. Since I've been working really hard to lose weight again, I've lost 10. However the last 10 seems elusive. And that's just to get to a weight I know I can achieve but isn't according to charts where I should be. I'm 170 and trying to get to 160 and I am 5'5" which means I should be in the 145 range at most. So I struggle and mostly I struggle to not eat sweets. Which brings me to the theme, just for today... When I eat a lot of sweets I ditch recording in the diary and then I ditch it every day after because I lost my streak. So this post has reminded me that if I focus on today, yesterday doesn't have the power to sabotage me. That feels very empowering!

    Again, I am grateful for the inspiration and wisdom in these posts!

    Just for Today!

    I think that's a great way to look at it. Some people do well with moderation, but for others abstinence is much more effective. Thinking you can never eat a cookie for the rest of your life can really be tough to deal with, but getting through the day without a cookie is much less scary.

    II assume this is the essence of the "one day at a time" that I have heard from friends who did AA

    Sounds like an awesome plan

    I understand what you're saying but I don't think I could operate in that way.

    It is perfectly possible to enjoy food and feel full while on a moderate diet.

    I do have the odd bar of chocolate and cookie but allow for that in my diet planning. I'm sure anyone could do the same.

    I completely understand. We all want treats, and we can all have treats in moderation. But if you're like me, suddenly the treats are in control and I can't leave them alone. I lost 97 pounds, and then let "treating myself" become an all day, every day occurrence. I've gained back 30 plus pounds and haven't been able to lose any of it because I can't leave the treats alone. I re-committed yesterday to staying focused every day on getting healthy which means making better food choices and only treating myself here and there. Thanks for the post...I needed it today. :flowerforyou:

    Just for today: I will maintain my focus on eating healthy.
