@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....2 -
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!

Hi everyone! I've been away because I've been sassy....and well, just plain old lazy. Four days off work and I feel like I went into a zombie-like state...or maybe a slug would be a better word for it. I'm so mad at myself. I have to weigh in today and it will not be pretty. So embarrassing.
Soooooooo, just for today/Tuesday:
1. Pack my breakfast and lunch for work and stick to what I packed
2. JOURNAL EVERY BITE
3. Hydrate. This does not mean coffee...this means WATER.
4. Get out and take a walk today at lunch time. Get out of the basement I work in and see the sun. Get away from colleagues and just rejuvenate.
5. I will not listen or partake in office gossip today. I will walk away. Everyone has their own story and I really don't like listening to people judge others. Not my circus, not my monkeys.
6. Earbuds in to tune out negativity in office if it starts again today. Kills my joy.
7. Weigh in and take the advice without feeling defensive. I blew it. That's it.
8. Gym tonight after work for 30 minutes activity, tanning and massage chair. (This is a maybe if I don't work too late).
9. Go to bed one hour early to get some quiet time and write in gratitude journal and read a few chapters out of novel.
Have a great day everyone! Hope it's a good one!3
