Hello everyone, welcome to the self control group. I hope we can all benefit from each others ideas and motivation to help curb those nasty habits that only set us back. So let us get to know each other! Tell us a little about yourself. You can tell us what brought you to this group, what you're trying to accomplish, what…
For those of you up for the daily challenge! Feel free to share your accomplishments doing the daily challenges (Read the challenge thread). I'll start off with my biggest accomplishment so far. On Thursday, my friend turned 21. So of course we went out. My challenge was to make sure I only drank vodka with diet soda (max…
I decided to keep track of our progress I would make a results thread so we can see just how well everyone is doing. Please be sure to message me how many days out of the 7 you completed your goal, whether you did any of the group goals in my blog, any redemption challenges etc. When you message me your results I will add…
Why do I do this? Before I even finish eating my lunch, I'm already thinking about what I can eat next!? How can food have such control over me? I know you don't have the answers, but I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment...

Get a notebook (nothing fancy) and title a page with the Month (November). Under the heading, put the day of the month, and write down a specific self control goal of yours for that specific day. For instance, my goal today is to make sure I don't snack on any of the foods at work when I go in tonight (I work in the food…
I work in the food industry and that's probably my biggest problem. Finding another job isn't much of an option since I'm now a manager and wouldn't be making as much starting at a new place. Also I have certain mindsets when it comes to wasting food and or money. Basically I convince myself its okay to eat things I…
Just curious what motivates people to lose weight or feel better about themselves. I'm thinking, when we have that urge to continue eating or doing something we shouldn't be, to help our self control we need some way to remember the reasons why we need to curb our self control in the first place. Is it to help you lose…
I had two "bad" days and didn't accomplish my daily goal. I'm afraid I'll loose my motivation for the rest of the challenge. Got any ideas?
Anyone else have this issue? Suggestions?
Hi everyone! I'm super excited to get started on this challenge! So, I've decided to track my progress electronically, so I made an excel spreadsheet. I don't know if this sounds appealing to anyone else, but if there's demand for one, I can find a way to share my spreadsheet with you! :) You could also print it out blank…
