    Just for Today: I will rejoice that there are no graham crackers in my house. Dumb, I know, but I could eat an entire box in one setting.

    I loved story. I see now that tomorrow also has been my best friend.

    I have always lived by the theory that success comes one meal at a time. I too plan my meals.
    I have trouble with portion control on some of the recipes I find unless this is clearly defined.

    I don't beat myself up if I eat something once in awhile I should not have. I just do better the next meal.

    Have a Blessed Day, and Good Luck

    I consider all food to be calories, carbs, fat, and protein. I am a lot more comfortable with food since taking on this mind set. I don't label anything healthy, dirty, or clean. If I can fit it in my macros then I can have it. I don't exclude any food group that doesn't give me issues. I know some people haven't gotten to this point yet cause they haven't developed the self control to handle having a slice of anything "unhealthy" and leaving it at a slice. The sooner you get to that point the easier it is to stop saying diet and start looking at it as a lifestyle change.

    I appreciate your insight. I thought once that I had reached the point where I had that kind of healthy relationship with food (or, not relationship so much as a lack of relationship. Realizing that food is merely something to feed my body, not something to have an emotional connection to.). I know now that I am not at that place yet, though I hope to be someday.

    Just for Today: I will not let Soul Fog drive me to comfort food. I'll put on fuzzy socks, instead.

    Just for Today: I will focus on what I eat and accept that exercise is not enough.

    Just for today, I will remember, one day at a time.

    A nice poem for us if we think it is just now worth the effort or when the going gets tough and you want to throw in the towel. The name of the poem is:

    'Don't Quit' by Jill Wolf

    Don't quit when the tide is lowest,
    For it's just about to turn;
    Don't quit over doubt's and questions,
    For there's something you may learn.
    Don't quit when the night is darkest,
    For its just a while 'til dawn;
    Don't quit when you've run the farthest,
    For the race is almost won.
    Don't quit when the hill is steepest,
    For your goal is almost nigh;
    Don't quit, for you're not a failure
    Until you fail to try.

    Just thought I would share, a friend shared this so I wanted to continue, enjoy! :smile: :smile:

    Just for Today: I will stay strong, determined, and focused on my goal. (I borrowed this from another challenge. I really works for me.)

    Just for today (and every day following) I will eat slow and enjoy, instead of eating fast without knowing when to stop.
