You get a do-over at every meal so try to think one meal at a time. If you make it through one meal imagine the next.

I am still figuring this out for myself but I am at least learning to squash my negative self talk before it takes over and keeps me from doing the right thing. If you look at my food diary this past week you will see my less than ideal choices...and my massive overload of sodium some days. Instead of throwing it all away and giving up I just write every bite...even if it means I just chewed down on chocolate and empty calorie junk.

Don't forget to keep your eye on the prize...you in better shape, eating healthy food that gives you all the energy you need to keep up with your son.
