Day 4......Give yourself some love

People who struggle with their weight tend to be hard on themselves. Instead of viewing slips as mistakes and thinking how they can can solve the problems next time, they tell themselves they are week, or bad.

So now we have to tell ourselves that we are doing good. When we get through a meal and stay on plan, think or say out loud things like "good", or I'm doing great.

Choose a positive word or phrase and write it down different places where you will see it. When you see it go through what positive things you have done today and give yourself credit.

Today I give myself credit for going to a restaurant and sticking to plan. I did great at sitting down to eat every meal (no pulling the chair up to the stove either).

Brkf: same everyday
dinner:2 pcs chicken and a big lettuce salad with ranch, the top of 1 pc. pizza
snack: SF jello, almonds
Supper: 1 half brat, and 1 hamb patty, 1 sm bit of noodle salad. I ate at ds house. I give myself credit that I didn't eat buns or ketchup. I could have turned down the noodles but I didn't want to insult dil. I will work harder at not worrying about other's feeling more then my health.

TODAY'S TO DO LIST
I read my resonse card at least twice check
I created a reminder system for giving myself credit......check
I sat down to eat......half a check (a few almonds to go)
I gave myself credit for sitting down to eat.....half a check. I have trouble giving myself credit.

Was a good but busy day. Tomorrow I want to start exercising again.
