I am  110 Days into my Daily Food Diary and   20 Days into tracking my sodium and processed sugar consumption. 

I am still struggling to meet my goals (some days more than others),  but I persevere and with 255 more days to go, I can only improve!

Lately, I have been working on dealing with the mental, emotional, or spiritual issues that affect why, what, or when  I tend to eat –   specifically dealing with stress and boredom – mindless eating.

One thing that I have been studying  is the wisdom behind Bhudist teachings.  The thing that I find  at the heart of these teachings is the importance of personal values. 

I can see how determining and developing my  personal values would ultimately lead to living the life that I want to live,  to experience the relationships that I want to have, and to be the person that I want to be. It only makes sense (to me anyways). 

I have used positive affirmations in the past… Affirmations relating to personal values – speaking or writing words such as strength, gratitude, peace, dignity.  

Lately, I have been working to identify with such values, repeating phrases (to myself) such as  “I am strength”,  “I am gratitude”, “I am peace”, “I am dignity”.

The change may seem insignificant, but I am feeling the results and I can see gradual results in the things that I do – including choosing what or when  I eat.
