Let's say you've been doing great and
following your healthy eating plan and exercise plan to the letter,
but then you slip up. You eat what you shouldn't and you eat a
lot of it. What do you do?
Although it would be really super if you just decide you're going to
lose weight and you march straight ahead and achieve your weight loss
goal without problems or difficulty, as you probably know from your
past dieting experiences that doesn't always happen.
So what happens if you encounter some
difficulty? What happens if you have been doing well on
your healthy eating plan and you are exercising every day but then
today you blow it. You don't exercise and you have that huge
dessert you've been craving for days. What do you do?
You have two choices: you can be
mad at yourself and beat yourself up with talk like "I've blown it.
I'll never be thin. I knew this wouldn't work. I may as
well just eat some more." OR you can acknowledge you slipped and
move on. "Yeah, okay. I shouldn't have had that dessert
but I did. There is nothing I can do about it now. At my
next meal I'm going to continue with my healthy eating plan."
The key is to acknowledge that you have
slipped and get back to your healthy eating plan and exercise plan at
the next opportunity. Don't wallow in your mistake. Yeah,
you made a mistake. Everyone does. Acknowledge it and move on.
You can drown in the pity pool or you can get right back on the path
to meeting your weight loss target. Only you can decide which
you want to do, but trust me you will feel a lot better if you choose
to meet your weight loss target.
You CAN lose weight and reach your
target goal! Try your best, stick with it and truly want
to lose weight and you WILL.
