Just for today --- daily commitment thread

The following is a mini self-intervention...
So, for the past several days I have really struggled with my choices. I haven't gone tooooo far over my calorie limit, but I have been eating candy and bread. I felt sick all night last night because the sugar and white flour are just not ok for me. Today I am hungry because that's what sugar does to me.
I don't want to throw the Halloween treats away, but I will if I have to.
I need to add a few extra J4Ts
4. Stick to my pre logged plan
5. Ask God for help if I am considering eating candy.
6. Remember my motivation for sticking to my goals.
7. Throw the treats away before you eat even ONE PIECE!
....We now return to your regularly scheduled program.
Step away from the candy! Or maybe you can just get candy that you don't like?
(I have never figured out why we end up eating and drinking stuff that's going to just make us feel bad. You'd think that would make it easy to avoid. But nope! I'm that way with alcohol. It makes me feel bad but I still love it.)
Sending good thoughts your way!0 -
That's what I need - a siren and a flashing red light. Step away from the candy and put your hands up!
My kids told me today, "Your the only one who likes candy corn anyway". So I am going to throw it away when I get home.
I keep a candy box at my office for my customers. It is ONLY filled with stuff I don't like.
It really does seem like it shouldn't be so difficult.

OMG - do I hear you here. My daughter love candy corn, and I do also. She has a little jar of it by her desk. Tonite, I got into it! But after a handful, grabbed my diet root beer - and going to stay away from it!0 -

@bri170lb Kudos for the refocus. It's all too easy to get lax around festivals, but I always pay for it, especially now that my body is used to clean, healthy eating.
@Saragirl2 Thanks!
@shrcpr It's a great NSV to resist the margaritas and chips.

I will stay under my calorie goal and not over indulge in any single food.
Have already expressed my wellness mantra
I will be patient in all aspects of my life.
I will make today a productive day at work
I am expressing gratitude for the weight I've lost. Full week of an industry meeting and trade show in vegas last week. Made it through relatively unscathed from an endurance perspective.
Another good day.
Under my calorie goal and made good decisions
Expressed my wellness mantra.
Continuing to grow in my patience levels.
Very productive day at work
For today:

Oh my goodness. I didn't realize I had been off the grid for so many days! I need a good kick in the butt!
I did really good yesterday, best day in a very long time. I didn't eat any junk food. Passed on the big bowl of candy (chocolate) left on my desk by my "Secret Spook" at work and brought it home. Brought home a "big cookie" left over from work lunch without taking one single bite and gave it to my husband. Skipped on sweets and no ice cream before bed...ate a bowl of Quaker Instant Oatmeal - Weight Control instead. Went to the gym (YES...THE GYM) last night and walked on treadmill for 30 minutes using the Cardio setting. Hit over 9000 steps on my FitBit Flex. That was a lot for me. I was sweating and my legs felt like rubber, but I did it! Sorry for the novel, but these are huge achievements in my world so I just had to tell someone!
J4T (Wednesday):- Journal every single bite
- Stay away from refined sugars again today
- Do my best today teaching a new class and try to cut myself some slack if it doesn't go perfectly
- Take 30 minutes of "me" time tonight before bed

Stay away from the poptart and donut type carbs even though they will make my sleep-deprived headache go away. Just suck it up and drink more water.0

Oh, come on! That was just a nice short story. Yesterday I wrote my version of War and Peace! I probably should apologize for being so high maintanance but I'm not going to because I managed to pull out a really good day yesterday after several mediocre days in a row.
I love to read about everyone's struggles (so I know I'm not the only one) and everyone's victories (so I know there hope for me.
Congrats on your awesome day!

I am the exact same way. If I eat too many carbs and sugar, it is much harder to resist more of the same. I did that over the weekend! I think the fact that we recognize this is a huge step in getting and staying healthy!0 -
Yesterday
1. Drink 2 glasses water with each meal, and 2 glasses between meals
2. low carbs, no sugar
3. raining out, so 30 min on ellipitical
Had a dental crown done yesterday, so off on eating. But I was doing so good all day until hubby wanted popcorn. I figured 1 cup would not hurt me, which it won't. But its getting the carbs in me that is bad. Once I had that popcorn, then I proceeded to get into the halloween candy - candy corns, and then a almond joy. But the good thing was that I brushed my teeth, and stopped at that.
I should throw out the halloween candy, but grandsons are coming to visit, so I need to have some, plus for little trick or treaters. But, I know what sugar and carbs do to me -- just craving more!
so JFT
1. NO sugar, low carbs. This works for me.
2. drink more water
3. stay positive. Its a rainy, dreary day again - the kind of day that makes me want to just graze all day!0 -
4. Stick to my pre logged plan Had to go out for dinner, but still did great!
5. Ask God for help if I am considering eating candy.
