But let me tell you guys the way I have abused our friend "just for today"
It started just after midnight with three pieces of that Italian papa johns pizza. And a piece or two of extra pizza crust. (Pizza crust is life, btw) after all, it's only JUST FOR TODAY. I'm here to enjoy myself.
go to bed...wake up 7 am...eat 3-4 more pieces of leftover pizza crust....I've really got to get it together.
Now its 12 pm...10 chicken nuggets, a large fry, and a minute made fruit punch later...I get to the house and eat cocoa krispies with chocolate milk and whipped cream...yes, you read that right...I tell myself "just for today I'll eat whatever. JUST FOR TODAY I'll eat like a fatty McFatterton."
Then a penut butter and jelly uncrustable and a nutrigrain bar....
It's Okay, if it was truly "just for today"
But It was also just for Saturday
And just for Sunday,
I did good monday...but then it was just for today.
Please Lord, don't let "just for today" turn into "just for tomorrow"
For those of you who dont know, I was 225 pounds just 4 years ago. I lost the weight by mid 2015 and have kept it off. But this past summer i have gained 30 pounds...and it seems like Ive lost control...just for today, just for last Saturday, just last month. Im going through something I dont know what it is. I hope I figure it out before this scale goes any more upward.
Thank you for listening😥 😢 😖
I am so glad you posted this .... because trust me ... you are not alone!! I could have written this myself.
I did great last year .. losing over 25 pounds. Last Halloween is what got me off track. And almost this entire year, I am struggling to get it back. Yes, I am fortunate that I have not regained what I had lost, but I have not lost anything either - I have just maintained. But I still have at least 20 pounds to lose. I do great for about 3-4 days. Then, like you said, "just for today" I eat junk stuff. Telling myself that once it is gone, then I will get back on track. That it is OK to finish up that box of ice cream, because then tomorrow there will not be any temptations left. Well. ... when it is gone, I have those cravings again ... and go and buy more .. whether it be candy corn, or Reeses Peanut Butter cups like I did today, ice cream, etc.
But .... I am not going to give up, and I hope you don't either.
You have done so great to lose weight .... you did it once, you know you can do it again. I read that success brings success. One good day will lead to another good day. I am so proud of you for what you have accomplished ... look at where you were, and all that you have accomplished since 2015. That is something to be very proud of!
You can do this. You (and I) can turn it around, and tell ourselves that tomorrow, " Just for Today", we will have those 5 servings of veggies. We will drink those 8+ cups of water. We will stop and think before we eat something. We will try and plan a day ahead what we will eat. We will go outside and take that short little 15 minute walk. We will not give up. And if we fail, we will try again the next day.
Your honestly is what has helped me tonite to also admit where I am. I know I am a compulsive, emotional eater. This is what makes it hard for so many of us. If I would only eat when I am hungry, and eat healthy food. But I eat when I am sad, when I am upset, when anything stresses me. And then, like you, I tell myself that it was just for today ... that tomorrow will be different.
Please come and post again. This is a thread where we all can say honestly what is going on in our lives. It is a place to vent. It is a place to be honest. And it is a place where we keep on trying ... and never give up. We are all here for each other.
It is a place for the most amazing support .... and the most amazing online friends. So please come back!
I completely echo all of this. Not only is this a place for accountability it also offers no-judgement support. We all have those days where we say “screw it” because this is real life and nobody is perfect. But for me the gradual process has been really helped by coming on here each day. It’s not that I never fall off plan, it’s that I get back on quicker by coming on here and - in writing - leaving the previous day behind.
Sometimes the big picture can be overwhelming - the total number needed to lose, or the feeling that this will have to be a life-long endeavour (this one for real for me!). But when it is broken down into just a couple of daily decisions, it can be more manageable.
So to anyone who has had a bad day and is beating themselves up, please tell yourselves that yesterday is gone. When you wake up your diary is empty and the slate is clean. It’s just one new day of decisions to make. Nothing more, nothing less. And every day we jump on here and try, we are building the habits of health, not perfection.
Much love to you all - very grateful to have this group. X6 -

Didn't really achieve my goals yesterday. You know when you're so busy and you've got so much going on you can't even think about goals?
Well that's fair enough but it's going to get me nowhere. I want a set of foundation goals that I achieve daily but more importantly goals that become second nature, I don't want to have to think about them, I want them to be as mindless as me brushing my teeth in the morning.
So my base goals (to start with) are going to be water and accurate logging.
So yesterday I actually logged accurately! I only drank half the amount of water I should have though.
So today it's time to pick that up, keep logging and drink more!
I was also in the green yesterday which is just an added bonus at this moment in time. My base goals are accurate logging regardless of the outcome.6 -
JFT - Wednesday
- Log all food

Today's the first time in a while I'll have the opportunity for a mid-week run. I need to take advantage of it!5 -
Starting the day off kinda well, walked to school today, we walked down the canal which was nice!
And then I got back, had a quick brew before I had to pop back out to go to physio, walking with the pram this time. Just got back and it's 12.15, I've not ate yet and already burned 338 cals!
I'm going to try this intermittent fasting! So from now till 8pm I can eat. And then nothing more till 11am tomorrow (started a bit late today)
@mytime6630 have you thought of trying this to curb your night time snacking!4 -

After nearly a week, using macros is such a big help to me. I’d forgotten how much sense it makes.
I’ll be home from a road trip, well two with one day at home, on Saturday night. Doing my best, but staying where food is not entirely in my control—and meals on the road isn’t helpful.
After I weigh on Sunday, I’ll decide if I need to adjust.
Thanks to those who have joined me. Still looking for mutual supporters! Judi6 -

Finally feel I had a better day yesterday. Still a bit high in carbs and my weight is still showing it on the scale.
Sunny again today and then supposed to be rainy/snowy again tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. Will try to get a walk in again tonight.
Everyone has so eloquently put their feelings and struggles into words and I am truly inspired by reading your posts. So many of us are having the same struggle, just struggling to stay the course and make better choices and decisions one day at a time and for me sometimes one hour at a time!
I find boredom is my downfall, I need to keep busy or I eat. I know I'm not hungry, I tell myself that as I get something else to eat. Last night I got back from my walk and my husband had made himself some toast while I was out. It smelled so good, I fought with myself for about 1/2 an hour then made toast. He went to bed and I decided I had the calories for it so I would have my usual snack. I wasn't hungry, I just wanted it and didn't want to deny myself I guess. So I had my snack, 2 wedges laughing cow, wheat thins and grapes. THEN for some stupid reason I decide to have cheese melted on bread in the oven. I had the calories for it, but I didn't need it, I wasn't hungry at all! My weight loss is so slow and I know if I could just say no to myself I would be much happier with myself.
The Just Say No campaign worked on me as a teenager. No drugs for me! Maybe I need to play those old commercials in the background of my mind!4 -
@royalty819 - Congrats on your loss as Bex said you did it once you can do it again. I have found this group so helpful especially through the struggles. It helps to know everyone else isn't perfect.
@maryrobinson40 - I just love you! I wish you lived next door and I could come have a tea with you. I am in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. I have been in your beautiful state. My husband used to drive truck and I would go with him a couple times a year. We lived in New Brunswick at the time and I usually ended up going to Florida. I have a squashed penny from a truck stop in Kenley, NC. You put a penny in a machine, it would flatten it and put a bear on one side. It's in my jewelry box, I'm sure someday my girls will wonder why I have that thing, but for now it's a sweet memory for me when I look at it.
@jeschepp - Look at you go, turning that signal in the right direction! You should be so proud of yourself! Celebrate with a little dance party for one!
@MLS1582 - Just don't think about it! What a great concept! I need to do that.
@bcTRAI - It's so nice to see you back on here posting!
@mytime6630 - 50 year high school reunion, that is something I would definitely attend. I quit school, I regret it all the time and am seriously thinking about trying to go back. I did get my GED back in '94 and took a computer course, but now at 50 years old I now know what I want to do with my life. When I was young I wanted to be a wife and mother, I never thought about having a career except watching children. Funnily enough though, I always wanted to work and never be dependent on a man for money. I was just never interested in doing anything other than a job not passion other than for children.
@Faebert - I loved what you wrote.
@Bex953172 - Woohoo! Accurate logging! I have been doing a loose IF for a couple months now. I did it to save calories for the evening when I really wanted them. I quit eating around 930pm and then except for a coffee I don't have anything until around 12 noon. When I told my doctor about it in August though, she told me that I shouldn't be doing it. She said people that are predisposed to diabetes should not do it. I forget exactly what she said but it's something to do with the liver and insulin. I haven't stopped doing it and my blood work is no longer showing I am pre-diabetic, so I'll leave it as is for now.
@blueimp - Travelling and food choices - oh what a combination. I struggle every time I am on the road.

Hi! Need to get back to the basics - I'm sliding further down the slippery slope each day! This is not a self pity post! Just need to be real with myself and talk through some issues I've been having. I took this round of "Just give me 10 days" off after I stepped on the scale after my weekend off and it said 188! I'm like no big deal, drink lots of water and get back to it. But then I didnt drink lots of water, I didnt log again, and I ate whatever I wanted. Fine - tried again, another eat whatever I want day. This is my self sabotage stage. Six months, 30 pounds, half way there and all of a sudden pizza sounds better than my health?!? My mind is cloudy, my bones are achey, my tummy is bloated. All signs point to get back on track, but I'm dragging my feet. Why? Did I restrict too much again? I dont think so - I was pretty well balanced with what I wanted and what was healthy. Am I avoiding the possibility of a huge change? Probably. I love avoiding my own problems by trying to solve other peoples. But I've mercilessly cut out all the people in my life who just dumped their problems on me. So there is not a lot of distraction there. Are my codependent ways rearing its ugly head? Probably - I'm still unlearning a LOT of the behaviors that lead me to my unhealthiest. Why though? All the people in my life are so solid. I need to step even further away from some of my codependent crutches. I am 100% responsible for me and me alone and no one else NEEDS me. And I really went down a rabbit hole here. It could also be that I just want it to be "easy" when I KNOW this is something I have to work at. Ah well...like I said, back to some basics.
1. Eat when hungry - stop when full. I've been eating to discomfort. Snacking out of boredom. Not listening to my hunger cues when they first spring up and turning into a hangry maniac.
2. Log all food. Haven't wanted to face my own actions and have skipped logging since I took the weekend off. I'm not fooling my body though! Time to hold myself accountable for what goes in my mouth!
3. Drink three waters at work. I need to put a number to it, "lots" of water is too subjective for my current level of avoidance.
4. Cook dinner at home Back to basics, don't worry too much about what is cooked, just that it's not takeout.
5. Be Kind Bring back inner cheerleader, kick out inner critic.4 -

I was thinking of you this morning. You seem to be struggling like the rest of us. You've certainly done a lot more soul searching than I have about it though. Welcome back, we can do this!4 -
Question for you all,
What is your body shape?
I'm a pear x0 -
I'm an apple. A big fat one LOL0
-
That reminded me of one of my favorite quotes:
Sacrifice is giving up something good for something better.
Your sacrifice this evening has led to no guilt, no bloated stomach, no extra pound to work off. It led to making it further along on your journey, satisfaction, a victorious feeling of winning, and an opportunity to encourage the rest of us by your actions. WAY TO GO!!!
Peace and joy!
Thank you for the amazing pep talk! It is so appreciated

I have GREAT news!!!The American holiday, THANKSGIVING, is in64 Days!!!
Now, before you shoot the messenger, let's think about this. We are coming up to the time of the year here in the States, and elsewhere, where there will be great feasting and celebrations. Let's get Gung-Ho Gussie in this weight loss trip we are on, shall we? Let's get those good habits we will need to maintain our weight during this time. Instead of lamenting January 1 we can be leaping for joy that we maintained and we can start right up without having to regain lost ground.
I also have another reason. While my target has been a healthier body spiritually, mentally, and physically, I have had one mini-goal this year. And that's to weigh 145 at my son's wedding, coming up Nov. 17. I took July and August off. I weighed 152 July 1 and today I weigh 153, with my initial weight being 178, Jan, 1.
I have 59 days to get to 145. God willing, I will make that. And then I will be set for Thanksgiving and beyond!
So, do you want to join me on this tenacious, highly focused, let's-end-well, effort??? It's going to take hard work and discipline but think of the reward at the end.
We can do this, and together we can do this even better.
Peace and Joy!

Why do so many men think they should send friend requests? I find it very creepy, no comments, nothing about themselves, just friend requests. I don't even ever see them on any of the message boards I actually comment on.3

One of my staff just brought me a double double coffee and donuts. I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I really don't want this stuff.
Update: I drank the coffee - 210 Calories. I'm taking the donuts home to the Grands LOL6 -

That IS creepy! Like they're trolling for women. May I suggest you review your privacy settings? I've got my MFP Profile (in Privacy Settings) viewable to MFP Members Only. My Diary (in Diary Settings) is shared only with MFP Friends. If someone does not take the time to read my profile before sending me a friend request, I delete the request. How do I know, you ask? Read my profile, and you'll know.

LOL I get this too. I only accept friend requests who are on here and are consistent on here.
It is weird and creepy I agree.2
