Today, right now, I an taking control. Not only will I NOT eat the food brought in nightly by my coworkers to clog our arteries, I don't want to eat it. I have brought a lunch and that is more than enough to get me through the next five hours of my eight hour shift. I want and will drink lots of water and I am going to forget about snacking before I hit the sack at 8am. I'm going to take it one day at a time, and I am going to say it publicly, I am in control today.

Can I say that one too? As of today, unless its carrot sticks, I am going to ignore the cake and doughnuts in the break room. Eat for what I want, not what I have.
Way-ta-go affirmations. Write it. Read it. Say it. Live it. That helped me a lot. And yes Bubbly, say what ever you need to do conquer your break room.
Right on, Red! We DO have the control and we make the choice. Sometimes it takes a while for some of us (me!) to figure that out but once we do, nothing can stop us!
I should post this (though I won't) everyday. It worked for me. I wrote, read, and said aloud a positive affirmation and it worked. Then... the next day came around with not as much positive results. I . Will. Get. Control!
That is awesome! Some of your control must have rubbed off on me today. We had a pizza party at work for lunch and I only had 1 slice. I felt in a binge-y type of mood for dinner and I filled up on a HUMONGOUS salad and hit the gym. I feel your joy!
I am so proud of everyone that is in here and trying to help themselves with an overeating problem! I have this problem since I was a little girl and I now feel like I am in control! I started my diet a little over a week ago, and I hadn't had the urge at all to overeat!! Keep up the good work!!
Good for you for taking control, Reddalice. The next day might not have been quite as successful, but that's life. Keep trying! And thanks for sharing your positive thinking.
I'm with ya sista! I weighted today and gained 4 pounds. I am so depressed about it and totally feel like giving in....BUT I am going to stay strong. I am going to fight those demons and do what's good for ME! Lots of luck to you!!! All of you!
