I am still struggling with my evening eating. Today I pulled out my notebook to track late afternoons and evenings by the hour. Just a simple yes I stuck to my plan for that hour of time, or no I didn't stick to my plan during that hour… Maybe by tracking it hour by hour it will help me visualize and see I can do anything for an hour… My goal is to work at getting better everyday with more hours eating right, then hours caving and giving into my cravings to eat….I am trying to work the positive behavior into building my self esteem to get through my hardest time of the day….

Day one tracking by the hour was a success. I didn't just say I did it, I actually journaled in my notebook…. I tracked 8 one hour times. I wrote : 3PM - 4PM 4PM - 5PM 5PM - 6PM 6PM - 7PM 7PM - 8PM 8PM - 9PM 9PM - 10 PM 10PM - 11PM After I got through each hour I made a star on that line to show I did it… With each passing hour, I loved to see the new star..This just helped me see what I had accomplished and re-enforced in my mind what I needed to really focus on… I plan on stringing daily journal to a 4week/month journal. I know I can do this, and taking it an hour or a day at a time, makes it a lot easier to do… And will be getting a tad healthier on the way!!! Janet

What ever works for you, do it!! Sometimes I track before I eat, just to see what I am taking in. I'm rooting for you!!

What a good idea to track it hour by hour with a simple yes or no! Thank you! I'm gonna do that starting tonight. I do so good during the day...then at night I lose control. Think it must be my way of relaxing. Good luck to both of us!

That sounds like a good plan to me. Evenings are the worse times. I think the day is over, and we aren't doing anything of any importance. Kay Report Inappropriate Comment |
I still have a lot of stress in my life, but I have managed to eat right and track now more days this week then not journalising . That keeps me much joy… I know this journey is for ever, etch day I walk forward it gets better … I have not been trying for a few months, but I am trying again, and so far this week is a big first step again for me….
I read a lot of posts on Spark People, and I know I am not the only one who struggles from time to time…. I know this time is no different then the other times I feel off program.. I need to pick myself up, and get right back on track…. And having a string of 3 days now, is a great beginning again for me….
I know this is not easy, so etch day I can achieve my goals makes my self esteem push even harder to do well….

Blue Birdie, You're doing an AWESOME job getting back on track. Although, even that language makes it seem like the track you're on isn't the track you're supposed to be on. I hope you can look at this as an experience that's only a part of your total journey. It may help you to remember the parts of the journey that have made you proud, while remembering that soon, you'll be able to look back on these times and feel the pride of persistence and accomplishment. I believe in you and find your story compelling! Keep working, one step at a time, and stay connected to your friends and supporters at Spark People!  PS I've always had a love and fascination of Blue Birds, too!

You are off to a good start with 3 days in a row. That is very motivating. Take it one day at the time. Kay Report Inappropriate Comment |
