Slip ups...

First of all... Have to get a guilty moment off my chest. Yesterday I was grumpy, PMSing and tired...I was sitting in front of the T.V when I craved something... Of course chips or chocolate would have been nice, but I chose a better route.... Pistachios... Hadn't got all my "healthy" fats in for the day so thought why not? Well pistachios are good (like most healthy fats) in appropriate quantities.I sat and ate the rest of them (prob about a cup worth). In the end I had a bit of a stomach ache. I think this moment for me showed that my battle with food will always be there... It's just a matter of knowing how to control it. Knowing there will be times that you say to yourself " damn why did I eat that?" in the past I'd say well I messed up this day may as well just start again tomorrow. That's not a choice anymore! I messed up on the pistachios but I realized hey this happens and it's not worth dwelling on and it's certainly not worth giving up the rest of my day's calories! Live and learn. Moral of the story... In all our weight loss journeys we will have slip ups. What person who's working on quitting smoking doesn't have a puff now and then. Food is an addiction and there will be low points. ( like me and 600 calories worth of pistachios). The important thing is how do you deal with these mistakes? Do you say screw it I'll be better tomorrow or next week or do you immediately say well that was a silly choice, next time I chose to eat something I will stop and think about it. Give yourself a rebost... You are better than that slip up... Keep your goal in mind. How will you handle your next slip up?
