Often times the hardest part about dieting is imagining how long it will take to get where you want to be. But, the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. So try starting small; cook dinner 3 nights a week, or take lunch to work. But big steps or small, commit today to the most important thing you've got...your health.
"I only ate 9 yesterday but that was in part because I traveled to salt lake straight from my restorative yoga class and then immediately ran errands when I got back home so I missed lunch. Then I was so tired from traveling around I had a simple dinner of strawberries and grapefruit. I did not have junk food, I just ate a thousand fewer calories than I burned. "
"Really did stay bright AND sober. Despite POD dinner and frustration. But good parts work today with Deb, about numbing. I was really tired. But yesterday, JoAnn Campbell-Rice mentioned that she was on both morning and evening accountability calls, so people could take that opportunity to bookend. So I did. Got on the evening call, which helped. May, a fresh start."

"Reflection: new week, have found it hard to stick to this week.
I don't want to restrict myself but sweets have been an issue so I think I'm going to have to watch it. I've got the thing still, of eating sweets and cake because others are, I wouldn't have gone into the haribo shop but I did because others did. I wouldn't have had cake but it felt rude to decline birthday cake. It took a lot to feel okay taking a packed lunch to
See family
There is deeper work to be had there.
This week we aren't going to have sweets, try to get out of the taste of them. "
