    Hi everybody. I just found this thread today and love it! Can I participate? I too crave sweets and last night binged on two pieces of chocolate cake as well as a bunch of my husband's peanuts. I do not even really like peanuts. That's how little control I have over my eating. :(
    Just for today:
    No after dinner eating!!
    Four coffee mugs full of water!
    Melanie

    @Melanie of course you can participate! I love everyone they're so friendly! I have an addiction to ice cream so I don't buy it! It STILL don't stop me from past the ice cream coolers a couple times, lol.

    Order a side order of vegetables when we go out tonight (which I did not want to do). Order seltzer water to drink. Forget budget since I wanted to stay home and eat healthier food. Stay in my calorie amount. Don't hold a grudge about this. Relax

    I logged all my food, but missed the exercise because I spent 6+ hours at a car dealership. Fun times.

    I just found this thread today and I love the idea! Christmas/My birthday/year's end I have a goal I am working towards already and I have been slipping in the last two weeks. Started two days ago getting back on track (logging everything, working out regularly) and this thread is perfect for helping me stay on task!

    Just for today I will:
    1. exercise 30 minutes
    2. log EVERYTHING
    3. stay in my calorie goal range

    Sunday, 11/23
    :smile: 1. Drink water -- DONE:
    2. Minimum 20 minutes on ellipitical - NO, BUt, I DID walk in the rain :smile:
    3. Log everything - Yes, but my calories were over 2000. Got into emotional eating, but, I did log everything. :neutral_face:

    SO JUST FOR TODAY
    Monday, 11/24

    1. I will ONLY eat at the kitchen table, or in front of other. This is my biggest obstacle to weight loss - I am a closet eater, and once I start, I lose control. Especially this time of year. SO this is something I really need to work on.
    2. Drink water in the evenings. I do better during the day, and also eat better during the day, but the evenings are worse for me.

    Today I reset my weight, reflecting the 7 lbs I have gained since Halloween. Those 7 lbs are going to come off by Christmas!!!!!!!!
