    Just for Today: I will remember that perfection is something to strive for, not acheive. Just because I'm not perfect is not a reason to give up.

    I love this idea, I'm put off too many times thinking about things that may happen the following day, the follwing month, or next year. 'Just for today' can apply to so many parts of life, not just food.

    This has really inspired me this morning!

    Very nicely written. It is a nice twist of thought, I am going to steal it and post on my newsfeed as most of my friends stay out of the forums; for their own sanity I imagine, lol.

    I generally don't think of eating/living healthy "forever", I look at my baby boys smile and know that I truly want to be more to him than just a memory as he grows up, and that is not going to happen if I continue to dig my own grave with a knife and fork. That realization allows me to make the better decision.

    Happy Holidays!

    I'm stealing this~! ^^
  • Just for today: I will tell off all people who get in my way - whether it be on the freeway, at the grocery store, or in line to pick up my kid from school. THESE ARE MY DREAMS BISHES - GET OUT MAH WAY! I WILL RULE THE WORLD!!!!!

    Just for today, I'll stay out of MFP forums and do my work.

    good luck with that, I have a hard time with that one too!


    Just for today, I will NOT give in and eat everything in the kitchen because I am home alone and bored!

    I do so well on work days, all packed up and planned out, but home alone = OMNOMNOM.

    Just for today, I will not have one of "THOSE" day off, I will still plan and eat like I would at work.

    So true! All the great religions and religious figures talk about the wisdom of living for today, not tomorrow, not the past:

    “The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly." -Buddha

    "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today." - Matthew 6:34

    "Transformation can only take place immediately; the revolution is now, not tomorrow." ~Jiddu Krishnamurti

    "The world is three days: As for yesterday, it has vanished. As for tomorrow, you may never see it. As for today, it is yours, so work on it." - Hassan al-Basri

    Just for today and will not be angry with the scale for not moving the way I want it to. And today I will remind myself that if I want a treat, I must earn it first. A mantra I learned from mountain biking buddies - Bombing singletrack downhills is always fun, but so much more satisfying when you earned it by riding up the mountain first!
