Yesterday's commitments -
- Log everything I eat
Not added dinner yet but will do so later
- No snacks outside meals
- No alcohol
- Choose light option at lunch Didn't manage this one... though I did completely leave the rice portion that came with it which is good
- Stay within calories Lunch made this impossible, however I did make up by having a small dinner so may not have gone over by too much
- Exercise class after work
- Complete CBT exercise before class Didn't do this but I did do something else productive which will free up time to do this today
- Take time out throughout day for appreciation Er, forgot to do this. Hard to remember....
- Focus on key priorities and don't allow workload to overwhelm me Didn't get overwhelmed but mainly due to not spending any time at desk (meetings, meetings, meetings....) and hence didn't get any work done either!

when I reach for food outside of meal times I will stop to think about why I am doing it, hunger, emotion, habit, exhaustion - but I forgot simple greed as a reason
look for an alternative.

I think I succeeded yesterday. I may have eaten 5 more pieces. If I was smart I would have left the wrappers out so I could keep count. Despite struggling for the last few months, I found out this morning that I regained less than my husband and currently weigh less than him (which hasn't happened very often in our relationship). I would like to keep weighing less than him, so I'm hoping this work for some new motivation/inspiration. I know, I know being happy at someone else's struggles is not nice, but it's a nice feeling all the same.aerochic42 wrote: »limit consumption of Halloween candy to no more than 6 pieces (and I already had 2 for breakfast, so only 4 left).
