Day 2:

“The greatest thing you have is the 24 hours in front of you. The past is gone; the future is distant. Today you CAN succeed. Set a goal you can achieve in the next 24 hours."

In the next 24 hours, my goal is to continue to watch what I eat. I am planning out my meals in advance before I go to work each day. I find that it helps me greatly to plan things out in advance as it helps me to stay on track. I am eating five 300 calorie meals a day for a total of 1500 calories to start off my diet. I haven't started an exercise plan yet, but hope to do that later this week or next week.

All I need to do today is stay focused on the next 24 hours and get my head in the game. I think the reason I fail so many times while dieting is due to the fact that I look to the future too much. My main focus was the end result, which is several, several months away if not years away (which my ultimate goal is to lose down to 150 pounds which for my height is within the normal portion of the BMI scale). It is going to take me a long time to accomplish my ultimate goal. But I am willing to start working on it again. So, today I have committed to making good food choices and I will accompish this daily goal.

Nice thoughts Jessie. I agree that we must have shorter periods to have the filling of succeeding.

You can do this! I have changed my goal so instead of just saying I'm going to lose 90 lbs, I say I'm going to lose 5% of my body weight. Then when I reach that goal I'll lose another 5%.

Very well said! I too get to focused on the end goal and forget that it is a day to day goal. I just try to go to bed feeling good about the day I had and focus on the next days goals.

Focusing on one day at a time is a wise idea. I think that most of us often get lost in the end goal instead of focusing on what can we accomplish today.
