Hmmmm that is a good thought...something filling yet holding...thanks stef...

Well Joan...just for the record I had a horrible day yesterday as well...I'm not taken by sweets but meat and savory! Attended a pot luck yesterday....yikes yikes yikes...not good...and I agree...stop beating myself up its a life style change...so have gone for a walk hope to do it again later as well...and just hopped…

Well katnip....just check-in in as we haven't heard much from you...hope you are doing well...thank you for starting this...it's already been very valuable...Blessings to you

Well welcome to the group...you will probably definitely pick up a few tips...I know I have already...it's the community that is so valuable...Blessings to you...

Well that is a challenge...I can't do the jumping Jack's or wall sits but I have walked so far 20 minutes...I spent a couple of hours in meditation/study...have told 4 people I love them...hmmmm work at home so....oh! Going to bible study tonight! Yes! And will soak/shower before I go...I love it! Thanks Auna37!

I would like to become friends...I found doing and asking the Lord...when it's not a meal time...why I'm putting something in my mouth had been very helpful...it makes me so and deliberately think why...am I hungry...bored...angry...emotional...tired or even thirsty? That has helped me to track my spontaneous eating.…

Memere...just recognizing it is a strong step forward! It's when we don't even know what we are fighting that we are in danger of defeat. Worship music, focusing on the joyful...whether I have to refocus many times a day, helps me. And realizing that this is only today...not the rest of my life! You are not waking…

I have what I'd called a chopper...it is shaped like a mallet but it had a large star shape on the bottom. It is used for breaking up hamburger when browning it for tacos, chili's etc. And excellent tool that gets overlooked if you don't know what it's for!

Now this I can do

I like this and even though I've joined late I think I will still try to do this in the morning. Thinking about me as a whole person the way I would anyone is....different. This will be interesting.

Okay...drank the water b/f breakfast but didn't do so good on the rest...got in only six

That's awesome! Hopefully this success will leech into other areas of your like...good on you

Absolutely! Thanks

Oh Joan I like your 3,4,5 JFT goals for today...I too easy when I'm tired...so take a nap! I don't know why I deny myself that...and being grateful for the health I have...reading success stories are a two edged sword bit I do like talking to real people dealing with real struggles! Keep going my new friend we aren't…

Awesome Eileen! Good to see you here...been waiting for this...cheering you on today!

Earlier today I responded to a post with a comment that spoke right to my own heart...I said

sunnydee216...letting go of the past for today. A very good goal indeed! Go for it...the past just becomes a heavy drag...Today you can do without it!!

Eileen....I see this! Hooray...I'll look for your posts these next 7 days...

Had a great day yesterday....walked although it was late in the day for me...it went beautifully...stayed with calorie count..even resisted the temptation for buttery popcorn! Had a gracious visit with a friend who is fighting cancer...puts things quickly into perspective!

Jean...interesting...what is your plateau busting diet? I plateaued for a month! I was so discouraged...have finally started moving again...

Myrna....great goals...hasn't thought of logging on and recording my food intake as a goal...but that's a good one...hoping you'll have a "moving" day!

Opps...didn't add my reply correctly...sorry everyone...it got attached to Joan's quote above...do hopefully you can find it and be encouraged...

Well...just to report...btw I am loving this thread!

Thanks losinandmovin ...I'm glad I found this thread...I'm alone too much...

I did it! Day one...first goal...done!

Oh thank you...that is a great idea...focus on another area for encouragement...I hadn't thought of measuring...

Awesome rebel girl...that is kind of where I'm at...today.....stress is huge for me as well...and I know I eat for comfort and as a de-stresser....I applaud your action in throwing away the treats...for me it's putting on the runners and actually going out the door for a 30 minute walk...15 minutes one way...15 minutes…

Thank you...that worked
