Weight Loss and slip ups!

So you have had a slip up and you are wondering is it all worth it. Yes, weight loss is worth it.

I know that I am trying to lose weight but I am finally realizing that although I am 41, this will be a lifelong battle. I will always be fighting my weight. If I am slim, I need to always be watching out for my weight as for 40 years it has been a battle and it will be a battle for the next forty years. So, it is very appropriate that I should be thinking about how I am going to get past slip ups because THEY WILL HAPPEN!

And it did happen. Yesterday, I downed about two dozen Girl Scout cookies. This was after eating two big ice cream sundaes (I know, you are wondering about my weight loss intentions with such reckless behavior). I should have felt terrible today but I did not. I will not allow me to beat myself up over pour judgement (either weight loss or other).

I am making the constructive decision to move on and learn from this behavior. This is a very supportive, positive way of handling disappointments. You owe yourself this same way of treating yourself!

Today, I worked out, planned out my food for the day and am focused on doing the things I need to do to make weight loss successful for me. It is one day at a time and each day is a new chance to do it right.
