    @kwfitgal - I think that is a HUGE step! Deciding that the trigger foods aren't worth it and walking away. Congrats!!!

    I can't believe I haven't seen this thread before! Where have I been?!

    Just for today....
    1. Stay under my 1600 calorie goal.
    2. Get to bed before 10:00 (I have fire/rescue meeting tonight.. this will be a challenge)
    3. No chocolate (it's just one day, I should be able to handle that, right?)

    First time to post here. Would like to lose 50 pounds! I'm quite skeptical about it. Sigh, well, here goes! For today, which is fast passing by!... I will do some stretching! I actually have some other things I would like to do that would burn more calories, and I will put them on my maybe list. However if I can even just do the stretching for example some restorative yoga poses, I will be happy. In the past "over goaling" has been an issue. Am peri-menopausal, and metabolism machine seems to be broken! I gain weight just breathing air! Anyway, will try again!

    Welcome!
    You can achieve any goal you set yourself if you DECIDE you're going to do it. So perhaps just decide an achievable yet stretching weight target for just this month... then use this thread to make a daily commitment to it here.
    so... break up the bigger goal into smaller chunks and decide you're going to do it.
    We all have off days. And... We can choose whether to let that beat us, or get back up and keep going.

    Good luck.

    Today I will walk >10,000 steps, will stretch and begin to work with kettle balls. Log my food, drink my water, and learn to appreciate feeling hungry. I will not let obsessive worry and anxiety rule my life today.

    Why would you need to be hungry?

    Well have had a very indulgent 2 days with far too much chocolate and wine. And I've enjoyed it. And partially balanced by double bootcamp then 2 hours of gardening today (over 1000 calories of exercise).
    Back to it from Tuesday
    Goals are:
    - stay within calorie limit
    - no sugar
    - check into stomach to gauge real hunger levels regularly
    - enjoy my extra day off and the garden. What a joy that sunshine finally came today... spring at last!

    If you're trying to drink water, try this cute little insprirational app: Plant Nanny. It grows a plant and each time you drink a certain amount of water it grows. You can pick from a range of pots and plants and it's been inspiring me!

    "Today mine is kind of silly. I'm in a good mood and I'm enjoying the songs that are bouncing around in my head today and keep "dancing" in my chair and cube. So my goal is to not get caught but to keep dancing as long as this mood lasts. " I kept dancing and didn't get busted :). For some reason the fidgety nervous energy still allowed me to really focus at work and actually turn into productive energy as well after work (cooking chicken for lunches and doing the dishes even though it was like 9PM).

    Just for April 7, I will waste less time on the internet (so not perusing this forum and only entering my food especially at work). So later my lovelies.

    Just for today, 4/6, I will:
    1) not binge. :) 4 days binge-free! And Mondays are hard, because I don't usually work Mondays, and my partner is at the office. It's difficult to be home alone without bingeing.
    2) log every bite. :/ So...I nibbled a little on the veggies I was roasting for this week's wraps, and didn't log it because I have no idea how much I had. But I logged everything else!
    3) not buy foods I like to binge on when I'm grocery shopping. :) It was a little bit of a fight to not pick up a bag of BBQ Kettle chips or Milano cookies, but I only bought the items on my list yesterday! Now I just have to keep that up when I make mid-week grocery runs.

    Just for today, 4/7, I will:
    1) not binge.
    2) not multi-task my food. Focusing on what I'm eating instead of simultaneously reading or surfing the web will probably help with #1.
    3) keep an open mind at my first therapy appointment (I've never done anything like this, but after gaining 15 lbs in 3 months due to binge eating, it's way past time to ask for help).
