I am so sick of hearing myself say "today is a new day"...I should stay on track EVERYDAY! But yesterday I ate soooo much crap I can't even log! It was like I was on self destruction mode. I can't keep doing this =( I am stressed...And that doesn't help. My husband and kids give me crap for being on my phone all the time...but I have noticed that the days I only log in to log my food...I am off track by lunch, eating everything in sight=( So clearly MFP works but not for the tracking abilities...for the support! I need more will power. I have got to finish something I start...and making me a healthier, sexier, smarter person WILL happen! Today IS a new day...And I so got this!

    Can't change yesterday and guilting yourself leads to yet more binge/ comfort/ depression eating. Today IS a new day and it's our chance to get it right this time. Just for today. We'll worry about tomorrow when the sun comes up.

    A very wise person told me one time, "When you are READY to lose weight, you will.". I thought this was a bunch of "crap" for a long time. Years even. Now I am doing it, for the right reasons, in the right ways. And who knows? Maybe I will be successful this time. Long term. I'm making changes in how and what I eat and exercising every day. No excuses. Everything is coming together. So when I do occasionally go over my calories for the day, I say to myself - "BUT, I kicked butt exercising today. " It's a long process for me and so I know it will take starting everyday with the attitude that you ended your message with today. I am not where I want to be by any means - but I am far from where I was. Good luck!

    Hard for the hubby and kids because they want your time, too. Maybe set aside certain times you will log and certain times they have your undivided attention?

    That being said, keep moving forward and try not to look back.
