Back on Track

Early this year I got pneumonia.  Added to my asthma, this has meant multiple rounds of steroids.  I'm on what I hope is my last round.  And I've gained 10 pounds.  I blame the steroids for 10%, myself for the other 90%.  Yes, the steroids made me hungrier and upped my cravings.  But I still made BAD choices.  (Cookies). And since I felt so bad I turned to food to help me "feel better."  That only works in the short term.  So... I really want to commit to do better.  I think I can only handle committing to tomorrow. SOOOOOOOO:  Tomorrow, I will not eat bad carbs.  I will not graze.  I will not use food for entertainment or emotional purposes.  I will make a plan and follow it.  I will eat protein first followed by low carb veggies and a few berries.  I can do it.  I've put it out there as a cyber promise.  I can't take it back. 

You can do it!!! I like your one day at a time goal, tomorrow will be a good day :) 

Why not start NOW? Make the next bite a good choice etc. Come on, you can do it. 

Oh yes, I'm starting now. :)  I'm just writing down my commitment for tomorrow.  My lunchbox is full of goodness today.

Thank you for the encouragement!  I need it!

I'll make the same pledge.  Check in tomorrow in the Menu thread.  Let's be accountable together!

way to go! 

You got this girl! We are here for you :)

Sorry to hear of your sickness and having to take steroids, but glad you are feeling better.  If you feel it will help, join us on the daily menu tread so you can be accountable to yourself and write down a daily menu.

You can do it, I wish you the best of luck!!!

Way to go!  You have set attainable (SMART) goals and I know you can do it!
