    Wish I had thought about it that way years ago, instead of eating frig all and later catsigating myself when I put it all back on. Every-freakin'-time :laugh:

    Great post. It reminds me on Jill fit blog, where she has a lot of similar ones regarding minders, food obsession, not being good enough....

    http://jillfit.com/

    We always want to start over, as if we already ruined everything and might as well go over our head. That moment is the best to breathe and stop. It is not always easy but is worth it. It may be helpful to internalize that the food will always be available, even tomorrow and you don't have to go through everything today. Mindful eating and allowing to be human and make mistakes... that's just it.

    This is so true. So powerful.
    Your mindset is critical. This is not a game that you can start and stop. It's your life. Take your power back. This is the perfect day. Do it.

    My Mom used to call this "stick-to-it-tiveness". We use it successfully in other parts of our lives - marriage, work, raising children, sports. But for some reason, we give ourselves permission to stop doing the one important thing - getting healthy. One small misstep and we throw in the towel. We let our brain tell us it's too hard. We're too weak.

    This is the post that I needed to read today!
    I was a "habitual repeat starter/stopper" - I am slowly learning to change my ways. Thanks so much for writing this.. It inspired! :drinker:

    Needed someone else to say this to me. I've been beating myself up today because this week hasn't been the greatest food-wise. I keep telling myself "Give yourself a break. It's not like you gained back 24 pounds. Just keep going." Because it is just life. Thanks for the positive post!:drinker:

    Righto. All you got is today. Past is done.

    Good stuff

    I like this a lot. I also came to the same realizatin. For years, it was "I'll start <insert day>". That was always preceeded by eating as much as I could/whatever I wanted until my designated start day. Every little thing set me off and the cycle repeated. I was always starting over until I stopped.

    Nice post :flowerforyou:


    I always do this. I always say "I'll start tomorrow"and then binge eat. Only thing is tomorrow never comes. Sadly, I go through this everyday. So frustrating!!!
