grateful
I am so thankful for all of the love and support i received on this blog post. This is one reason why this community is so amazing, loving, supportive, funny, caring, hilarious, and down right amazing. Thank you all.
Today was a much better day. I ended up laying down for a few minutes, as I had a really bad headache. That “laying down” turned into a 2 hour nap. Guess i needed it!
I do know one thing. When i eat a good and nutritious breakfast, i am way less likely to binge or emotionally eat.
So for me on this journey, i know i need to have a few minutes to myself, eat a good breakfast, get some kind of exercise– whether it’s walking, biking, zumba-ing, dancing around the house like a crazy person, doing some push-ups, lifting a few free weights, and eating right. I know everyday won’t be perfect. I am me, and i’m going to do the best person that i can be.
Working on me. ONE DAY AT A TIME. Is my new mantra and motto.
It’s proven to be difficult in the past. I do something for a while, stick with it, when i don’t meet my goals, or get bored with something i quit.
So i’m trying to work on REALLY doing it one day at a time, and sticking with my goals and program. I know this is something I want to do for me and for life. I know that i’ll always struggle with my weight and food for life. I would like to get to the point someday where i’m not counting calories and points. I dream.
Here’s to me being me, dreaming big, working hard, and loving me.

I went back and read the original post and I have to say that you are so brave for opening up!
One day at a time is a great mantra! We all have our struggles but we will make it..one day at a time.

Thank you Katy! Being opened and honest has helped SO MUCH
Brittany,
You are an inspiration! You’re so right that it really is one day at a time. One of my readers helped me with the mantra “progress not perfection” which I’ve now made into t shirts!
I really get down on myself sometimes and i just repeat that to myself, progress not perfection, progress not perfection…
You’re doing amazing girl, you’re figuring out what works for you and what doesn’t. Keep up the amazing work!

Thank you Jenny! One moment at a time it is
What a wonderful mantra, I may have to steal it for my own.
One day all of your dreams will become true, you deserve it!
OH yes! one day at a time!
Brittany, your attitude is so inspiring. Thank you for being so honest!!
Here’s to a new day and a new start – happy Tuesday, friend!

Thank you Heather
No day but today!
I am just catching up on my google reader but wanted to send you lots of love and hugs. It is about changing your mind. I will leave you with a quote:
The shape of your body obeys the shape of your beliefs about love, value, possibility. To change your body, you must first understand that which is shaping it. Not fight it, Not force it. not deprive it. Not shame it. Not do anything but accept–and, yes, Virginia–understand it. – Geneen Roth

Thank you Christie! I’m still processing and trying to figure that quote out! xoxo
Sort of commenting on this and your binge post. I’m a binge eater too. I’m learning my ‘triggers’ things that set me off. It takes a lot of paying attention. I know if I’m over-tired it’s a trigger, certain foods, etc.

Hi, I just found your blog and I think it’s amazing how open and honest you are! I have struggled with emotional and binge eating and I think taking it one day at a time is absolutely essential! You’re doing a great job, just keep going and never give up on yourself.

Thank you for stopping by! I think being honest and open is the only way for me!
One day at a time is the best way to look at things sometimes. It can get so overwhelming when you stand back and look at the big picture. Right now, at the very moment, today is all that matters.
BTW – that is a fantastic picture of you! I love it. You look so beautiful and happy.
