i tell myself all the time that i'm being good today. it doesn't have anything to do with the things you've mentioned, it has to do with my own difficulty in long term goals and slow weightloss and building frustration. instead, i strive for being good/doing good, day by day, and in that way am less frustrated by slow loss and remind myself of the ultimate goal, which is not weight loss, but one day less of potential diabetes which is rampant within my family. it is not a path i wish to take until i absolutely must. i do not go to doctors, so this is one really great thing i can do for myself to manage my health better and hopefully have a better outcome healthwise in the long term than i might have. it really helps me to remember the ultimate goal more than anything else, and i have a couple of friends, they will either ask me if i'm on plan today (wanting to go out for fast food) and i've found that for some reason, saying it in that way is more apt to cause them to not bug me about deviating from my woe. beats me, but it works, and i need that, as i am one that has great difficulty saying no to people. all in all, i don't mean anything by it in regards to anyone else, it's just a phrase, and one that works well for me, for the reasons i gave. i never really thought it might be an aggravating factor to someone else because i never even considered it sounding the way it sounds to you.
