Nicole,
Sorry you're struggling. It sounds like you have some great ideas on what you need to do to improve and get back on track. You have a goal in mind and you can do it. I think most important of the things you mentioned, if you make a mistake, don't let it take over your day or week, make the next CHOICE the right one. Great point, and something I need to work on. See you soon!

Kristy~Thank you! I hope that this new set of guidelines will be enough to help keep me on track or at least if I veer off I won't veer too far as I have been recently. Starting over right away is something that will take some work for me as well as I have been allowing myself to keep sliding down the slippery slope and then end up out in the "tullies" as my little sister would call it. I am looking forward to seeing you Friday! Have a great week. Hugs! Nicole

Nicole,
Keep plugging away at it - you have a great awareness and you are determined to make some life changes. That's why you're an inspiration to me and so many others here. I think that the counseling is a great idea - it will help you know yourself better and think about the decisions that you make throughout the day - do they support your goals/not support your goals/are your goals the goals you want, etc.?
I do think, like others, that you are being a bit hard on yourself. You've had a lot of successes and from the things that I know about you, you are 100% committed to living a healthier life and being a better you.
I hope that you can believe that you really are doing the things that you need to do to make your life better. Maybe not every decision, every day is the best one, but you are doing enough and you are making the effort to continue to improve. That's good enough - it has to be. Be kind to yourself - you have earned it.

Good morning, Nic!
I can see by your posts that you are a regimented- and goal- type person. This is a great way to be--as long as you allow yourself the GRACE to slip now and again, be able to forgive yourself for that slip, and get back on track. Losing one battle does not lose the whole war! Be gentle with yourself.
I like so totally agree with your reinforcing method--I get the impression that the fact your posted this was to reinforce your plan in your mind. Awesome way to ge this seared into your mind, and lets others know your plan. KUDOS!
You are doing such an awesome job--I totally agree with the others that you are an inspiration!!
I will be honoured to keep you in my prayers for the strength you seek to be able to fight these 'demons' you battle. It's by the grace of God that we are successful in our endeavours.
