    Good morning,

    This is my first week back on in a while, so I'm actually doing quite well and have that "newbie" excitement. So it's kind of hard to do the "just for todays." Some of mine might relate to how I feel about myself instead of weight loss.

    Just for today, I will hold my head up high and like myself.
    Just for today, I will treat exercise as a gift instead of as a chore.

    Everyone enjoy the day!

    Great quotes! Holding our heads up high, and liking ourselves is so important! Great idea!

    Just for tomorrow:
    1. I'm going to try to listen to my hunger cues, instead of just eating because there is food there
    2. I'm going to try not to stress if I only have a certain amount of calories left
    3. I'm going to stop berating myself if I fail
    Much the same as yesterday's and todays goals, but it's a constant process with me trying to feel 'alright' about getting near to what I'm allowed.

    Just for today I will only eat what I have already logged. Just for today I will drink half a gallon of water.

    Just for today I will actually remember my 'just for the day' commitment. :):p

    Just for today ...
    1. I will not let myself worry over things I have no control over, and use food as a comfort.
    2. I will work harder at drinking minimum of 8 glasses of water
    3. I will get in my walk tonite
    4. I will work to stay within my calorie limit

    I am really loving to hear all the responses here. Many of the things you guys write makes me think about our commitments to a healthier lifestyle - no matter what the number on the scale says.

    Stop berating myself if I fail -- wow, this is a big one. This is something I really have to work on - going to put that also in my just for today things!

    Love this thread. Just for today I will not eat chocolate.

    Sugar, and specifically chocolate, is my downfall. Once I have some, I can not get enough. Emotionally I am not ready to give it up completely, but I can for one day.
