Just for today --- daily commitment thread
Replies

This is just what I needed today - having a hard time not beating myself into a pulp for what feels like messing everything up (I know in reality that's not the case, but try to convince my emotions of that!)
Just for today 3/02:
1. Work on accepting the last 3 days of overindulgence and forgiving myself
2. Drink lots of water to flush all that crap out of my system
3. Go to sleep at an earlier time5 -
Just for today 3/02:
1. Warm-up with elliptical for 1/2 hour right after work.
2. 18 min HiitMax workout.

Yesterday, 3/1
1. Log every bite I eat - no matter what.
2. exercise minimun 30 minutes 33 degrees out, and snow, but I got my walk in!
Just for today, 3/2
1. Log every bite that I eat - no matter what
2. minimum 30 minutes exercise
3. Do not look forward and worry about the future for my daughter. Take it one day at a time, and only look at the positives in my life, which there are many.
4. Do not turn to food for comfort.
Thanks so much everyone for coming back I don't have time right now to read all the responses, but I will later tonite.
I also love this thread -- you guys are my inspiration. Sometimes it is hard to admit when I eat 1400 worth of calories after 9pm. But you guys are all so wonderful and encouraging, it helps me to get back on track, and I hope when we are honest, it also helps others. We are not alone. Losing weight, and changing old habits take time. Sometimes it is one step forward and 3 steps backwards it seems, but as long as we keep trying.

Met all of my goals yesterday. It was an eye opener using the food scale for the first time !! I always thought I was guessing portion size weight pretty close....Wrong !!! lol
This is something I think I need to do also. Right now, I "kinda" measure my food. It does make a difference!

Well my weekend sucked but here I am back at it. I didn't log all of my food. Got to be too much and too crazy. So I did go to the fitness center and did 25 minutes each on the treadmill, elliptical and stationary bike. Back on track. Hopefully not too much damage for when I weigh in on Thursday.0

1. Take a walk.
Left work for a short lunchtime walk around the parking lot
2. Log everything I eat![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
Let myself get too busy.
3. Keep track of time. Do my best not to be late today. I did much better on this.
Tuesday March 3. Just for today I will
1. Take a walk
2. Log Everything I eat and no snacking after 10pm.
3. Do not overpromise. I tend to take on more at work than I can reasonably accomplish which is very stressful.
Have a Successful Tuesday All. You can do this for one day.0 -
I'm noticing so many of us struggle with the same all or nothing thinking. Me too. We did not get here with one extra snack. The problem is (or at least for me, and I think for some of you too) when I make that one poor choice, I give up and keep eating even more poor choices. I need to let myself enjoy my treat (planned or not) then climb right back up on the wagon and make better choices right away. This is the only way I can make any of this work for the rest of my life. One day at a time, one choice at a time, one tiny step at a time.1
