    thanks for this!!!! Yesterday I had a little Easter party for my daycare kids, one of the moms brought carrot cupcakes for the kids and was so sweet and went out and bought me a gluten free one. I felt horrible she paid so much extra and made the effort to go and get it for me that I ate it. I have felt is since, I just know that those things are not part of my diet ever - they make me feel like crap.

    I once heard a very wise person say that she was just one cookie away from being 300 lbs again (she was about 150 lbs at the time). I thought that statement was a little drastic at the time. However, I have come to realize the truth of it. I followed a very rigid eating plan to lose the weight after my 4th child. But when my baby turned one, that piece of birthday cake that I ate quickly turned into 30 lbs gained. I know now that if I don't keep control of the food, it will control me. That being said, I find the thought of eating healthy for the rest of my life to be a little (okay, a lot) daunting. That's why tomorrow has become my best friend. I tell myself that I'm going to eat healthy forever, so I will enjoy one last day of treats today. Unfortunately, today has lasted for several months.

    So my new mantra is "For Today". I will not think about eating healthy tomorrow (until tonight when I plan tomorrow's food). I will decide to eat healthy "for Today". When I get through today, I will recommit tomorrow, and the next day and the next. Hopefully, when I've chosen the right enough times, I will forget to have to choose, it will just be my life.

    Just for today - I will remind myself that even if I already made a bad food choice or two, doesn't mean the ENTIRE DAY IS BLOWN. I need to get out of my all or nothing - and - I'll start tomorrow mind set
