    I am feeling extra hungry today and feeling like stopping by Taco Bell on my way home from work tonight, but today I will avoid my cravings and make myself a good dinner when I get home!

    Just for today

    My goals for today were to:

    * Pray in the morning, say what I am grateful for
    * Drink at least 64 oz. of water (I drank 67 so far when including herbal tea and some coffee, not all coffee was included due to the diuretic effect. I use iHydrate app and it calculates the amount of water I retain from different types of drinks like coffee, juice, tea, energy drinks, alcohol, etc.)
    * Be on time for work (sometimes I am late)
    * Do at least 20-30 minutes of cleaning
    * Do some reading
    * Pray before bed

    3/22, tuesday
    1. STOP the sugar. Sugar makes me feel miserable. It makes me tired. So WHY does my body crave sugar all the time. Today, no sugar at all.
    2. concentrate on drinking water. Water is what our bodies need - not diet pepsi. When I drink water, I feel so much better, have more energy. So why am I not doing what makes me feel better. 8 glasses of water today.
    3. get out and walk. If it is raining, get on my ellipitical. Exercise is the best therapy in the world, so why am I forgetting this. Minimum of 30 minutes today
    4. Stop concentrating on the numbers on the scale. Beauty comes from within. Remember that, and be positive today.
    5. Stop with the excuses. Life is full of stress, hurts, things that are out of control. But I am in control of how I react, and my approach to stress. Today, my approach to stress is to eat healthy, exercise, and take things one day at a time.

    JFT I will not eat sugar,cheese or nuts, because once I start I can't stop. I am so disappointed in myself, as I have gained 10 lbs since last August by sabotaging myself by indulging, but just for today I will stop my overeating.

    Just for today, I will remember how hungry feels~don't mean that in a bad way, just want to make sure I am eating only when hungry and not bored or sad or happy or frustrated or celebrating~food is for fueling (not that I don't enjoy putting the goods in the tank B)). Today, I will remember hungry.

    I came to the community section of this app today to find motivation throughout my day because that's what I need! Glad I saw this.

    I like your goal today and will join you. I will slow down and have some water or herbal tea if I feel hungry.

    Failed yesterday's goals, as I was unexpectedly invited out for lunch where I ate the three foods I said I would not eat. I find it very difficult to refuse to eat food which has been prepared for me. I did only have small portions but once again disappointed I had given in to peer pressure, but today is a new day, so JFT I will only have coffee for breakfast, soup for lunch, fish and green veg for dinner. I will just do it.

    These are my humble opinion, so I hope you don't mind me sharing them with you.

    Changing your mind is not a failure. You made a choice, part of which was to have small portions. I see that as a positive. This is the problem with banning foods in our lives. It makes us feel bad when we don't follow through. It is better to see eating them as a choice rather than a compulsion, as there is strength in choice!

    We all make unhelpful choices in our lives. I believe in forgiving myself and moving on.
    Each new day brings a new start.

    I think that positive goals are more productive for us in our quest for health and fitness.
    Also, I have found that eating something healthy for breakfast sets me up for the day, and helps me to resist the tendency to want to eat something for Elevenses.
