We all have done it , made an excuse for why we ate something , or a lot of something . Then figuring , I already did it why should I stop . It doesn't matter anymore I already "cheated ".
No one likes to admit when they fall off the wagon, that we made a "bad " decision on what we are eating based upon the day, our mood or in some cases pure convenience . But it happens . The worst thing you can do is self Sabatoge yourself ! Yes you made a "wrong " choice , you overindulged in cakes , pies , chips and dip but the next time you eat, choose something better . Learn what drives you , why you choose what you did and change the mental part of yourself ; your way of thinking . That in turn will change your physical response .
For years I struggled with my weight , finally joining Jenny Craig and loosing over 50 lbs . Then life happened , I met the man of my dreams , finished my Masters in Psychology , got married , and had 2 beautiful children. In the process I stopped careing about me , stopped caring if I ate a piece of cake or the entire thing, and I promised myself over and over that Monday would be the start of something new. Each time slipping back into my former self , stress eating , mood eating .. Whatever you'd like to call it eating . If good news , I ate , if bad I ate more , thus giving me this body. The body I learned to love and hate at the same time . The body I am now determined to change . I was the victim of self Sabatoge , thinking I ruined everything when falling off the wagon. But this time my wagon came with guard rails ... I know what I do to myself and won't let it happen again.. Learned from my choices and will Keep Moving Forward...

    You already did it once. 50 pounds is NO joke. Now you can do this. Again. This time perhaps for good. GOOD LUCK :)
