    Hang in there.... We ALL have those days that we go a little crazy.... just get back on here and keep writing your stuff down.. I messed up more then one day in a row and ended up not tracking any food for more then a week and now I am right back where I started. Just forgive yourself and keep on trying. You'll get to your goal.... but as a good friend told me... "you didn't put the weight on in a few weeks, it'll take more then a few weeks to get it off." Hang in there Girl. You CAN DO IT!!! Tomorrow is ANOTHER DAY!!!

    Tasha - Hang in there! That's normal to mess up - you're human, right?
    So just get back up and start again.
    It can take weeks to change eating habits and, even then,
    we WILL screw up! But if more days than not, you are on your game,
    things will improve.

    It's gotta happen.

    :flowerforyou:

    so, hang in there!

    Don't beat yourself up over it. Today is a brand new day.
    Also, I have printed out a quote from a post that Banks did on motivation/willpower and it has become my driving force...
    "Having a bad day is an error in judgment not a concession of defeat"

    We've all had days like this but you can get back on top of it!

    Don't worry, we've all done it and I'm sure we'll all do it again! It takes practise but eventually you'll be able to pass these days off as cheat days, and forget about 'em!! Don't beat yourself up over one bad day, just dust yourself off and start new today!! Good luck, :flowerforyou: you can do it!

    ::humph:: So the next meal is the next chance to turn things around!!! YOU CAN DO IT! You have to want it more than the quick fix item.

    Lemme find something I keep in mind at my week moments...

    Here it is!!!

    Controlling Naughty Foods


    A friend and I were talking about weight loss a while back. We both came to the strangest agreement about our favorite "bad foods."


    - My favorite foods will always be there, it's not its last day found on the earth right?

    - I already know what they taste like, so I don't have to go back and "try it" at every opportunity.

    - I can get that food when I have "earned" it, not when I just want it randomly.

    - My goal is health and love for myself, not this food.


    I think at the time french fries were my favorite. That would be my lunch, with a water. YUCK! What was I thinking? :laugh: Now I remind myself that I can know it's good tasting, but I can get it next time, when I know it fits into my plan, and I want to be happy. YUM! It just helps me look at my favorite items and keeping ME in control, not my addiction.
    __________________________________________________________

    YOU can TOTALLY DO THIS!!! Keep up the motivation and make a plan girlie! I can't wait to hear your update in a few days!!!

    Yes, a new day, new choices:flowerforyou: I am learning during this process to love myself more than ever. By forgiving yourself for a slip up you are choosing love over judgment. We are our worst critics. We can rid ourselves of other judging, critical people but that little grungy self critic goes every where we go.Stop it immediately!!!... come to the message boards, the support here is overwhelming and most of us truly feel your pain because it's ours too.:heart:
