    Well, yes and no. It's pretty hard to say no all the time.

    That's just the point... It's NOT forever it's just for TODAY...
    For today I'm going to make the best choices I can even if those choices aren't perfect. I'll worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.

    You're right. The thought of eating healthy every day forever is daunting. Most things I have self-control on, though, and I don't lose that control. There are a few things I do lose control on, however, and I have to stay away from those things at all cost.

    This is the perfect way to describe how we have to approach eating. I really think of it as an addiction and taking it one day at a time is a great approach. I love the way you explained this, instead of I will start tomorrow (and then tomorrow never comes) I am doing it just for today! And instead of just for today meaning I am eating crap just for today, it means I am eating healthy just for today, I will think about tomorrow, well, tomorrow.

    I think us food addicts totally get this. Thanks for the new mantra.

    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!

    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.

    Just for Today: I will not buy food whether it be at a restaurant, convenience store, or grocery store. I will only eat home prepared food.
