I did so good yesterday. So going to make my list the same, as these are the things I struggle with the most!
1. Eat ONLY at the kitchen table, or when I am with other. No more eating in front of my computer, eating in front of the TV. That leads to mindless eating!
2. Drink --- Water Water Water!!!

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.

Just for today I will:
1. exercise 30 minutes - DONE!
2. log EVERYTHING - DONE!
3. stay in my calorie goal range - DONE!
Just for today I will:
1. drink no alcohol
2. do my yoga that I love and miss
3. log everything! (tomorrow is my weekly weigh day)0 -
Haven't been on here since last Thursday! Not a great way to take it 1 day at a time, and I blew it at 2 thanksgivings this weekend, but my holidays are over and I still managed not to gain anything...so I guess that is a success!
From Nov 20th
JFT - I will stick to my calorie goal - YES!
JFT - I will not let the stress of the day get to me and enjoy all these crazy moments for what they are - such a blessing! - HAD SUCH A FUN DAY WITH MY KIDDOS AND ALL THEIR ACTIVITIES!
JFT - I will do a random act of kindness - because that always makes me feel good and makes me feel like I can accomplish anything! - I DON'T THINK I DID THAT!
JFT - I won't think about the scale, just how I feel
JFT - I will keep positive!
JFT - I will do the random act of kindness that I forgot to do on my busy days!0 -

Motovational poem for weight loss
Don't Quit
When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down, and you feel like the biggest failure in town.
When you want to give up just because you gave in, and forget all about being healthy and thin.
So What! You went over your points a bit, It's your next move that counts...So don't you quit!
It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change.
It's learning the skills to get back in your range.
It's telling yourself, "You've done great up till now.
You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow."
It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal.
You're still gonna make it, just stay in control.
To stumble and fall is not a disgrace, if you summon the will to get back in the race.
But, often the struggler's, when loosing their grip, just throw in the towel and continue to slip.
And learn too late when the damage is done, that the race wasn't over...they still could have won.
Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow, but facing each challenge will help you grow.
Success is failure turned inside out, the silver tint in a cloud of doubt.
When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit, If you bite it, you write it....But don't you ever quit!!!

I just discovered this discussion thread and LOVE the idea! So here goes:
Just for today, I will stay within my calorie goals.
Just for today, I will stay active for at least three hours after I get off work (no sitting around watching tv).
Just for today, I will attempt to ignore the number on the scale and focus on how much more I can do physically than I ever could before.

I like the poem! Thank you for sharing it. The day before Thanksgiving, I read this, and then copied it and changed it up a little to personalize it just for me. I printed it out and carried it with me when I went to Thanksgiving dinner. It served as an extra bit of armor for me as I negotiated my first ever diet Thanksgiving successfully.GrandmaJackie wrote: »brightresolve wrote: »11/24- All the water again (Harder than it looks!)
