Sheri's post about being accountable and keeping goals in mind throughout the day has me thinking.

Today I wrote down my goals for the day and some of the goals I have in terms of the holiday season. I wrote down my food in detail and also wrote some postive affitmations about deserving to be thin.

It seemed to work. Although everything that I wrote down was stuff I knew and have posted here, writing it at 10AM made it more present to my day and helped me be present to it throughout the day.

I used a scrap paper and then just tossed it in my handbag- nothing formal, but the act of writing helped me a lot.

I am going to make an effort to jot down my thoughts, wants, goals and stuff more often BEFORE I eat off plan and give up on myself or try to whiteknuckle it through barely staying in calorie range.

Thanks for the subject, Sheri.

Thanks for sharing that, Sandy! I'm glad that the discussion helped you.

Sandy, I know that when I was faithfully logging my weight on an Excel spreadsheet (first) and then started logging everything in Fitday, I really did a lot better. I'm trying to get back into that habit.
