Rising after the fall.

ObtainingBalance

I have noticed I have posts made specifically for when we are tempted to self sabotage and threads of encouragement but I have not posted anything that gives you all a place of comfort after the binge or after the self sabotage. Here is a specific thread for it, now! This is a pretty simple thing; but I think it could help us all evaluate the situation better and forgive ourselves. It's okay to come here every time you fall; We will not judge! Feel free to rant about it on a side note after answering the questions -- I understand not all of us have anywhere else to go when we feel like we've failed our goals/plans. Just know you're always welcome here! :flowerforyou:

A few quotes you might need:

"My only competition is myself; so everyday I should aim to do better than I did before because no one but me knows where I started."

"Successful people learn from their failures and move on. Unsuccessful people become consumed by their failures which keep them locked in the past. "

"Breaking a habit might seem daunting; remember -- YOU created it in the first place, so you have the power to uncreate it!"
