    J4T:

    Journal everything I put in my mouth
    Try to drink more water
    Activity for 30 minutes
    Try to de-stress, take deep breaths and keep putting one foot in front of the other.
    Be grateful

    Not such a good day yesterday - had a weigh in which didn't go well and also developed a cold mid afternoon which made me feel rubbish. Result was lots of comfort binging! Never mind, the key thing is to try again - no giving up now.

    Yesterday's commitments -

    - stay calm at work regardless of provocation (people or work) :D

    - Take a lunch break outside (even if take work papers) :)

    - use coping mechanisms to stop myself getting overwhelmed :| Didn't get too overwhelmed but not because of coping mechanisms

    - dancing or exercise class after work :/ Started exercise class but had to stop as was feeling rubbish

    - stay within calories with mini deficit :/ Definitely not - see above

    Today's commitments -

    - no unhealthy snacks
    - no alcohol
    - stay within calories
    - go to cafe for lunch to read papers
    - Focus on getting the essentials done without worrying about everything else
    - leave work on time and REST
    - go to bed before 11

    I only read a few of the goals, but I only have one goal I would like to try for the day, and that is to try to think a positive thought regarding dieting versus a negative thought regarding dieting. If I can start that trend, maybe it won't be such a chore. If I can start that trend, then maybe things will start feeling easier. Sigh...

    I was doing OK, and thought I could manage binge eating. So they had skinny cows on sale at the store - 2 boxes for $7.00. Well, that was the start of the binging. I had one, then another, then another, until the boxes are almost gone.
    Why I do this, I don't know. It is crazy. I feel worse when I do this. It makes me feel grumpy, and upset with myself. I know it is most likely just thirst, because most of my binging is on ice cream. At least I bought skinny cow ice cream, so it was only 150 calories each instead of 250.
    so once again, today is a new day. I am going to try and learn from this, and just not buy these things. Even though they are low in calorie, they get me started.

    so just for today
    1. think positive thoughts. All is not lost. I don't have to be a "all or nothing". Yesterday was just one day out of my week. I can average this out by watching what I eat the rest of the week
    2. drink water. I think my binging starts when I am dehydrated. Concentrate on water
    3. DO not let one day turn into 2 days. That is the nice thing about each new day - its a time to start over. If I have to do this a million times, that is better than just throwing in the towel and giving up.

    So all of you - hang in there. Old habits are very hard to break, and they can come back so quickly. My hope is by writing down our commitments, being accountable, soon these old habits will get buried, and harder to come to surface.

    1. Get to the gym
    2. Start a modest strength program- new gym + new nautilus layout= performance anxiety
    3. Eat a clean salad for lunch-not that gross over salted chicken breast- I'll have black beans on my salad instead
    4. Eat my banana rather than chocolate for my afternoon snack
    5. Tell someone they inspire me- so many to choose from ;)

    No work out yesterday so it has to count as my night off- ugh! Wonky week where my gym partner is off site(we work together and keep each other accountable) and another remote colleague is in town-translation evenings out. Here's my plan:
    1. Healthy Lunch-stay away from the gross salty chicken
    2. Get up 3 times today and take a walk that involves at least a flight of stairs
    3. Go to the gym <or> do a half hour on-demand toning video if I go out tonight
    4. Acknowledge someone's progress
