Eat4Today

Welcome one, welcome ALL!

Eat4Today is almost 2-1/2 years old, growing out of my commitment to getting a grip on my weight as a way to get a grip on my blood sugar levels. And my inability to refrain from babbling about the process on other people’s blogs. (HEY! katiebird, get a blog of your own!) So I got a blog of my own.

As our tagline states, this is “a place to discuss food and eating and the state of the world.” And a careful parsing will reveal that virtually nothing is off topic here. Still, most conversations revolve around health issues. You might want to avoid the place on Oscar night though…..

Each day around here begins with my goals for the day. And everyone is encouraged to post their goals in the comments. When things get going (and summer is the slow season, so don’t be surprised if they <em>don’t</em> get going for a while) there’s some good supportive conversation about HOW to stick to the goals. And it can be a bit of an open thread.

We also like to talk about the process of making/keeping/reaching goals. Some of the steps involved are A Vision, a Plan, a Commitment, an Affirmation and Action. Oh, and whining. Every successful strategy to get a grip on health involves these concepts. I think.

I can’t tell you how happy I am to be back in business. These last few weeks (months) have been a miserable struggle. But this nice shiny room has perked me right up! (Maybe I will actually TAKE that walk today….)
