You probably think “We’ll isn’t she being a Debbie Downer” but hear me out. No weight loss journey is perfect. Ever. Sure you can have a section of it be perfect but eventually something will jump in the way -unforeseen circumstances are and should be expected. Instead of focusing on ridicule, throwing in the towel, self-bullying, punishment for falling off plan (we all do it- I’ll never eat pizza again or that’s it 3 days of nothing but protein shakes) build a strategy for when you fail. When you develop a strategy you can zone in on the plan you’ve designed to get right back on track and avoid the long term effects a “fail” can lead to. For example, you decide to throw in a chocolate chunk cookie at Jimmy Johns at the last minute thinking “it can’t be more than 7-8 points but when you track you discover it has 19 - don’t let it take you down that familiar road you’ve traveled in the past- make a recovery plan! Maybe guidelines of track before I bite -I only eat half when I can’t get points etc. Stay tuned for more on this subject as failing can lead to giving up and when we plan to fail the option of giving up can be eliminated.
