This was passed out at my TOPS meeting ...

Just for Today

Just for today - I will stay on my diet.
Just for today - I will write down everything I eat.
Just for today - I will count calories and measure my food.
Just for today - I will busy myself during my difficult times.
Just for today - I will take the time to think about what I do before I do it.
Just for today - I will be in control of the emotions that send me into the kitchen time and time again, searching for something that isn't there.
Just for today - I will act like the intelligent person that I am, realizing that I am not perfect and that I can fail without the world coming to an end.
AND IF I FAIL?. . . . .
Well, just for today I will pickup the pieces and try again.

Hope it helps someone... if even just for today.
