Today I struggled again a few times with mindlessly popping something into my mouth without thinking first and writing it down. I think just a small peanut butter pretzel ended up not being accounted for, at perhaps 20 calories or so. No real harm done. Still, this old habit scares me! I know how quickly the cycle starts: mindless snacking, self-hate for lack of self-control, the "I'll start over Monday" promise and the "I'll allow myself this freedom or full-scale binge" thinking because "I can't be perfect all the time".

But...this is my year. I cant fail. I want a happy ended. It's time to make permanent changes and win this battle. It's time to love the me I see in the mirror. And that starts with writing every bite on this journey down. And to be clear, this journey will take about a year.
