If At First I Dont Succeed, Diet Diet Again

So yesterday I had a bit of a rough day. I over ate at lunch and supper but I know I still consumed less calories than I usually do. This is the only goal I have right now...is to take in less calories than usual and just keep track of what I'm eating. I've been doing fairly well in this regard. Its been difficult to stay away from sweets and I havent done a very good job of it. However, I havent had one drop of soda in three days. All i've drank is coffee and water and I've kept my coffe intake down to 2 cups per day. This in itself is quite a feat for me. I want to see at the end of this week if any weight has come off and then next week, try to cut calories some more. For me its better to take it one step at a time and so far whats saved me from binging is just not getting into that diet mentality. if i have a craving i eat whatever it is, i just try to eat less of it. i'm hoping that next week though, i'll be in a place where i can cut out sweets and be ok with it. one day at a time. i'm trying not to lose heart and i'm hoping that if, at the end of this week i dont lose any weight, i keep trying.
