    I wanted to share something that has helped me, not only with dieting, but in life in general...

    In the book, "You! On a Diet" it says, (and I paraphrase) if you slip up (say eat 1/2 a cake or go for an extra slice of pizza) simply make a "U-Turn." It likens it to the GPS system in your car... if you miss a turn, it doesn't say... well, you've screwed up now, you might as well go all the way in the wrong direction. No. Instead it says, at your next possible opportunity, make a U-Turn.

    Using this logic, there is no longer such a thing as a "gateway" food or an excuse to give up. Because if you screw up, just make a U-Turn and get back on the right course.

    Thanks Tim! I love this reminder :)

    That's really great! You knwo I realize that millions of people struggle just liek I do, but when you find someone who just comes out and says "yeah I ate the pizza" it really makes you feel less anxiety. Sometimes people treat a diet mishap like a dirty little secret and just causes more stress. Anyway. I'm definitely all for this logic! And anyone can add me as a friend. The more suport we all have the more successful we will be. Oh and Tam, Good grief girl! You are a defintie inspiration!

    Wow. I thought this was an accidental bump. Nice to see you, iTim. :smile:

    I've thought about this thread/message many times over the years - and not just about weight loss.

    I hope you're well.
