    @OConnell5483 Thank you! I've been doing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy because I was previously getting very stressed at work. It's really helped me to find ways of coping better - the goals don't always work but often do. I like to put mental health goals here as well as it's important for me in general, but also my mental state of mind highly influences what I end up eating!!!! :-)

    I enjoy reading your posts too, I like that you put kindness in them - I don't think I always remember to be kind and it's important! I think you talk to yourself in a similar way too - I also use capitals when I'm trying to be strict with myself....

    Yesterday didn't go quite so well, had a piece of cake that I wasn't planning to eat (the result of a bit of a game between me and my colleague where we kept on putting the cake back on the other's desk to get them to eat it rather than us - I lost...) however I pulled it back by eating less in the evening so in the end only went slightly over. Need to get better at resisting cake though!

    Commitments were -

    - Log everything I eat :/
    - No unhealthy snacks (remember that even small bites DO count and I haven't room for them) :/
    - No alcohol (remember this at networking event!) :) Made easier by not bothering to go to event....
    - Monitor what I'm eating at networking event; have one or two small bites only in order to... :| Not applicable
    - Stay within calories :| A little over
    - Eat small snack before networking event to enable the above! :| Not applicable
    - 30 + minute lunch break :)
    - Don't procrastinate - get key priorities done :| Ish.. was hard due to over running meetings
    - Listen to music to boost mood :| Actually chose not to for focus

    Today's commitments -


    - Log everything I eat
    - No unhealthy snacks - just some ryvita before part work drinks to keep me going
    - Lunch not to exceed 450 calories
    - drink g&t only at post work drinks
    - one water for every alcoholic drink
    - do not exceed calories by more than 200, ideally less

    - Get big report done by EOD - don't be all perfectionist about it, just get it done!
    - re evaluate priority list and consider what can delegate
    - Listen to music to boost mood
