Limits to my positive attitude...

 I'm a planner.  I plan everything.  when I can plan my food and choices I do great, but when my plans go out the window I tend to make bad decisions.  I think one of the most difficult things about this whole journey for me is that I sorta just have to let it go.  I don't have control over so much except the now!  I think this may be one of the biggest things I learn in life.  Hopefully when I get to your point I will be able to just let the future go and worry about today.  Right now I'm most definitely NOT there yet.  I really thank you for this thread though.  It's good to know others have broken thinkers as well.
