      1. Resume cal goals :)

      3. Exercise 30 min. :) Got in my zumba as well as calisthenics and planks. Yippee!
      4. Take lots of deep breaths. :) Had a fairly patient day, including a nappie-poo, which always helps!

      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).

      4) I will exercise when I get out of work.

      @losingrae, thank you! My dogs are the sweetest (if also most poorly behaved)! I love your picture too. :) So cute!

      The month of February was a very hard one for me to stay motivated. While I am sad that I did not lose any weight for the month, I stayed the same. So in this way, I have been a success. Winter months are hard for me - as the days are shorter, no sun, so cold, !!!

      But getting on here keeps me from just giving up. I am taking this one day at a time.
      My goals for the month of March are:
      Starting weight 194.6. Goal is to lose those 4.6 lbs, and be back in the 180s!!!
      Some kind of exercise, 30 minutes 5x a week.


      So to get to these goals, my goal

      Just for today, 3/1
      1. Log every bite I eat - no matter what.
      2. exercise minimun 30 minutes today

      Congratulations on 4 days binge free! :smile:

      You gave yourself a frowny face because you nibbled on veggies while cooking.....I say NO WAY...that totally deserves a happy face! :smiley:

      Good luck on the therapy. I think you have set yourself up for a big win because you are going in to it with a positive attitude. :smile:

      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

      Wednesday's JFT: Not sit on my feet and go for a shorter walk today at lunch. My knee is not happy with me so I'm taking it kind of easy today. Luckily it's supposed to be wet and gray all day and that will make it easier.

      Just for today, 4/7, I will:
      1) not binge. :) Really, really wanted to. Instead, I took the food I wanted to binge on, portioned it out to fit into the calories I had left for the day, and put the rest away.
      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. :( No, not at all. I listened to an audio book, checked my email, read some forum posts here, played games on my phone...
      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). :) Now it's just a matter of doing what she tells me. I wish therapists had a magic wand and they could just wave it and make you better without your having to do anything... Too bad we have to work for it. ;)

      Just for today, 4/8, I will:
      1) not binge.
      2) not multi-task my food. Trying this again.
      3) vacuum, take out the trash, do a load of laundry, and clean the bathrooms.
