I think Everyone should ask these questions because its apparent to me that we all s/b doing this. we sh because something is missing. because its an addiction and its comfort. but if we ask these questions and today just for today do it..........eat one food that is good for us, get up from whereever we are and walk around and try to get a little exercise............think one good thought and be grateful.

This is a great idea, Fran! Really great.

When things are particularly hard for me, doing this can really help pull me forward.

And since I currently need the reminder too...

Just for today I will exercise in the morning (done).

Just for today I will remind myself to breathe.

Just for today I will eat healthier than I've done most of the week.

Who is next?

I keep asking what I need then filling that need. (usually food or beverage, but sometimes rest)

Just for today, I'm going to clean my house (productive & a little bit of exercise)

I don't think I have any food in the house that is "healthy", but I can eat my veggies with my hamburger.
