What keeps you from taking care of yourself?
Looking back on my issues with food, I can clearly see that I have been an emotional eater. Today my goal is to press through my emotions and feel the pain or the joy, and remain committed to MFP. What keeps you from taking care of yourself?
One day at a time! Body Image?
I project myself as being a very confident woman even though I am overweight. I find myself being friendly and confident yet inside I still feel sometimes that I am just not enough. I am always wishing I had somebody elses body. This morning at the pool, I shared that with a gal who shared she was feeling the same way. She…
:flowerforyou:
Hi ladies (and gents if any have joined us!) I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed week. Take the seven days "one day at a time" and do your best. If your best isn't what you want it to be, restart your engines. We are all human and sometimes we fall, but that's what God and bandaids are for. Pick yourself up, put a…
Visual aid
I just wanted to share a little something I came across on Pinterest that I do. it gives me a visual, and also let's my family see the progress I'm making. I decided how much weight I wanted to lose and put that many marbles in a clear vase. As I started losing pounds I'd move one marble per pound to another vase. At first…
Stress and binging
Anyone know how to avoid a binge when your stress is sky high?

6.20.12 one day at a time! CHOICE
Today is another day to choose life or death? My goal is to choose life today. When I am in or (way on the other side) of food, I might as well be dead. I become physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually dead inside. This is information I have learned about myself I cannot ignore. Have a prosperous day! 0)

Today was a total 10. Ate good and exercised.
When the pounds do not come off fast enough.
One day at a time 6.19.12 Today is a new day! Each day adds up; I must remember that. On the days when the pounds do not come off fast enough, as long as I am doing what I am supposed to be doing, I must remember, "I am enough". We all struggle with the food challenges we face each day. Today I will commit on focusing on…
