    It's OKAY to fall off the wagon.

    Here's why: Now you have to chase that wagon to get back on it!

    Okay, bad joke, I apologize. But I think having a few bad days is allowable, just remember we're all rooting for you. So the next time you're grabbing something not-so-good-for-you, imagine twenty plus people standing over your shoulder.

    Lol, I was going to say, because it give you the opportunity to do some pull ups and step ups, and who wants to ride a wagon for weight-loss ;)

    To this I will add, maybe take this as a sign to shake things up a bit to make it fresh and interesting. If you have been doing cardio for exercise, switch to body weight exercises for a bit.

    Or play with your macros and try different foods.

    You can't go back and change what you DID, you can only go forward and change what you DO from here forward. There will be "bad" days. Then there will be "good" days. YOU GOT THIS!!! If it will make you feel better for being "bad," just jump back on that wagon and ride it like a banshee screaming out of hell! I was good and packed my lunch today, and was talking with a client who mentioned being hungry (while I was STARVING for the second time since I got to work) and he wanted to order a pizza!!! One of my downfall foods!!! But when he left, I grabbed my lunch (not the most diet-friendly, but better than take-out pizza), and chowed. And instead of grabbing a soda from the machine or a candy bar, I have my water, and I ate my 2 dove promises, and I'm proud of myself! You can choose to wallow in your "badness" or you can choose to get up, dust yourself off, and get back at it. The only difference is how much farther down the road you will be if you choose to move on!

    Now that I have made myself completely sick by sounding like a hokey motivational poster over and over... JUST DO IT!!!

    :happy:

    I hope this isn't the beginning of me falling off of the wagon, I have so far to go and this horse can't afford to quit now.

    You are in control!!! Don't hope...MAKE SURE! This is NOT the beginning of the end. You are the only one who can do this for yourself...

    GET IT GIRL!!!!!

    No such thing as perfection! Have a bad day or two and get back up! It's ok! Forgive yourself, realize it'll happen again, and move on!

    Don't give up! It happens to all of us. We have days when we throw it all away...just remember tomorrow is a new day and a chance to start over. Don't dwell on what has happened instead look at your future!
