    Glad I found this thread. It's inspired me! I've decided to do two JFTs each day....one related to weight loss, and the other a personal goal. Extra long to-do lists stress me out, but I think this is do-able!

    1. Just for today, I will log all my foods.

    2. Just for today, I will be more patient with the kids!
    (Twin 4 y.o.s and a 2 y.o - mornings and bedtimes can get crazy...but if Mommy keeps her cool, it's soooooooooooo much better!)



    I love the idea of having one for weight loss, and one for personal goal. What a great idea!

    I also love this idea!

    JFT: I not snack AFTER 7 pm
    JFT: I WILL start crocheting again tonight! I started a blanket about 6 months ago but been crazy busy with work! Hey, now I have lots of time, yay for me!!!!

    Wow Joan, this idea is an inspiration. I'm sitting here mentally complaining that I'm at my highest weight ever and its not going anywhere. I think I'd like to try this Just for today and see if I can help myself overcome my mindless over eating one day at a time. So even though its already 7:50pm here I will do a Just for today for the rest of tonight. I will drink 2 glasses of water and stay out of the last of the girls Halloween candy. And come back again tomorrow morning to make a fresh start.

    JFT - I will log and stay within my calorie budget.

    I logged everything. I did not stay within my calorie budget. Had a bit of a binge episode tonight. However, I am making progress because I did log my binge. Usually, I would hide it. "Baby steps, Bob"

    Good night all. See you tomorrow.

    This is great! I'm new to MFP and any way to keep on track is helpful.

    Just for today I will run even though it's cold.

    I love this idea! I have such a hard time just keeping track of daily stuff and get so overwhelmed. I love the idea of focusing on one day at a time. I am getting married next October and I want to lose 30 pounds before my final dress fitting. :)

    Just for today, I'm going to take a walk with my finance and dog for at least a mile.
    Just for today, I'm going to avoid sweets (cookies, chocolate candy.)
    Just for today, I'm going to drink at least 8 cups of water.

    Just focusing on today.

    Just for today I will not allow others to sabotage my goals.
    Just for today, I will ignore the box of Thin Mints in the freezer (brought home by someone else).
    Just for today, I will say "I choose not to eat ..." instead of "I cannot eat ..."

    I am struggling SO much, and this is why I need to get on here everyday, and at least make an attempt to keep on trying. I have a lot of personal things going on with my daughter, who has mental illness. I want to eat for comfort, but I know I need to find other ways to deal with all this.

    Here was my list from yesterday. I didn't do everything, but, I DID do some of these things! So trying to look at the positives, instead of the negatives

    3. Get out for a long walk today before the weather turns DONE -- I Walked almost 5 miles yesterday. I went for a walk in the afternoon to soak up the sunshine, and another walk with a good friend in the evening.
    4. log everything that I put in my mouth - DONE -- I even logged the Buster Bar from Dairy queen!

    SO JUST for today

    1. I will work again on trying to get in the habit of chewing gum instead of eating
    2. I will concentrate harder on getting in my water
    3. No matter what, everything I eat I will log in my journal
    4. I will check off these things, so tomorrow morning, when I post my just for today list, I will have completed all these item.

    Just for today, I will try not to let the increase on the scale throw me into a funk that results in "comfort eating." It's just the body settling.

    You c an do this! I know I have to not look at the scale when I have a bad day. It is just too discouraging!
