I was doing SO good and then--I wasn't going good. No I didn't give in to a midnight craving or have an emotional breakdown resulting in eating my body weight in sugar.
Thursday, Abbie made dessert and I wanted to try some. I only had a couple bites and that was that. Then Saturday I went to a lingerie shower. I knew there would be a plethora of yummy food and I didn't even attempt to ignore the sweets. I gave myself 1 day and by the time Sunday rolled around I was more than ready to give up sweets--again. Today is Tuesday and so far I am back on track and feeling great.
So, on that note I thought I would put in a few thoughts I've had on cheating on a diet.
When it comes to sticking to a diet people are incredibly concerned about failing their diet. So when they do slip it's catastrophic. Honestly, I feel like people allowing themselves to become so upset when they are not perfect in their eating habits is just as problematic as actually falling off the diet bandwagon. Sure, it's a band idea to allow ourselves too much liberty in what we eat. After all what's the point of a diet if there is no intention to stick with it? But, we can't feel like a failure if there is a slip. It's more important to keep your chin-up and keep going.
