untagging myself

So I am still at that point where I struggle with my weight, I eat when I am happy, I eat when I am sad, I eat when I am stressed, geez, I guess I just love to eat. Time doesn't permit as much working out as I would like and I just can't tell myself no. Things taste so good as they are going in my mouth and the look and smell sometimes you just can't resist. I have never really been the person who doesn't have time to eat, I have been the person who doesn't have time to eat so she eats all the wrong things, or doesn't eat and then eats whatever looks good or is lying around. I always do better when I can take the time to make my food ahead of time or portion it out. I can stick to a specific diet like the HCG diet for 30 days knowing it is 30 days, but somehow haven't mastered the idea of eating healthy every day, counting calories and just plain being conscious of what I am doing. I love healthy foods but they are just not as convenient as the not so healthy counterparts.
I think that I am going to take it one day at a time, give my value to the who I am and where I am at this moment in time, love myself and make peace with where I am at at each moment in time, remind myself on a daily basis that nothing tastes as good as skinny feels and stop being so critical of the way I look and concentrate more on being grateful for the things I have, the things I like about myself. I think I mentioned in an early post that I bought a gratitude journal to keep in my purse, I am going to try and remember that every time I want to put something in my mouth, I get stressed or discourage and want to turn to food, to grab my little book and write instead. Then I can be less critical about the way I look in a picture, a snapshot or photo because I know that is how I look at the moment in time.
