Despite keeping my weight off for five years, I still struggle with some of the old mentality. For instance, if I eat off plan (like I did today – shouldn’t have opened the peanut butter jar), I feel like the day is lost.It’s hard not to think, “Well, I totally blew it. Might as well eat….” But eating an extra 300 calories is not the same as eating an extra 900 calories. That’s what happens when we chalk the day off as a failure and throw restraint to the wind.
If we can stop after one slip, the damage isn’t too bad. Even if it’s a nasty fall, we can start fresh in the morning. All is not lost. It’s just a little bump in the road.
