Remember it's okay to get off track

Hey everyone.
I just want to point out that it's okay if you find yourself getting off track with your diet. We're human, just like a flat tire. Your not going to stop moving forward. Replace it and keep trucking. I lost over 70lbs since last year. And I've been doing really well with maintaining until recently. I haven't gained but I've noticed I'm not as toned. It's so easy to just say #$#$ it and continue on the wrong path. But just remember why you started your journey to begin with.
Dieting isn't easy. And my biggest thing is recovering from having a cheat day. I find my cheat day leads to days instead of only one day. Which is fine as long as you don't continue it. If you find yourself lacking motivation or seem to feel stuck. Think about your journey so far. And remember what you told yourself when you first started your weight loss.
No matter if you've just started working out. If you have lost 10 lbs or 60lbs. You are still one step ahead from where you were yesterday

Loved this, thank you for sharing your insight! I too am guilty of an indulgence day turning into many days. Its so easy to get off track, but just gotta keep putting one foot in front of the other until I reach my destination. I have changed my settings to lose 500gms a week instead of 1kg, it will take me longer, but I really want the weight to stay off for good this time. Best of luck to you0

Great attitude. That is how I feel as well. Rather than dwell on the past just keep pushing forward. I've had a couple shaky weekends but we don't change our lives overnight. Not giving up is the key!0

I needed to hear this. I missed a workout and went over on calories a bit 2 days ago and I am still beating myself up about it. I'll stop that now.0
