    Just for today: I will bask in my accomplishments!
    Two months ago i didnt think i could pick up a 10lb dumbell and do a set of repetitions! (literally i thought 3lbs was to much!) Today I had to increase to the 10's. (and im getting stronger every day!)
    That i am enjoying (gasp!) the burn i get with my workout with my trainer! I never knew how to push myself before and i am finding it very gratifying even in those moments i do consider i might keel over! lol
    That i have lost 10lbs healthily without any gimmicks, pills or even diet! I still eat what i want but am trying to make healthier choices! Its a slow process for me but i think i might actually be getting it! (knock on wood!)
    and most importantly: I am proud of me for doing something for me and only me! (Im nearing my 6 week mark)

    Thank you again for this thread! I enjoy it greatly!

    Eighteen months ago I started my weight loss journey and have lost 30#s before joining MFP and kept it off. Now I am continuing that journey and have lost the first 2 #s of that journey.
    Since my back surgery 2 1/2 years ago I recuperated and am able to engage in the exercise needed to assist in my weight loss
    journey and journey to become healthier.

    Thank you again for this thread! I enjoy it greatly!

    This is a struggle for me, as well. Another struggle? My children. I ate so carefully yesterday, in spite of my munchies, and then my 10 year old came home from school and made cookies. He doesn't understand that I'm not able to stop at one.:sad:

    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.

    Is this a copy-post that comes back like every other day or something? Because I swear this thread was up a couple of weeks ago, with this SAME message. o_O

    :heart: I love reading it every time as well.. it's such a powerful story. Whenever I think of a cookie I think, nooooo it will be a pkg., or a day or that would lead into a week.. and then who knows.

    That's why I love that each new thread begins with a "cookie'!:laugh: :heart:

    Just for today, I will focus on how much stronger I am, the more energetic I feel and that I am so much better off than I was 10 months ago. Finally, I will focus on the pride I feel for maintaining a healthier lifestyle for the past 10 months.
