Falling off the Wagon

Started by jodifur , author of Jodifur 1/28/2012 7:32:00 AM

I fell off the wagon last night.  I had been so good since I started January 4th, and I'm down 8 pounds.  Last night I went for a long overdue date night with my husband and we had nachos (meatless, i'm a vegetarian) and I ate a veggie burger and sweat potato fries.  And I had  a glass of wine and a beer.  I think that was all my calories in that one meal.  So much for my detox diet.  Serves me right because my stomach is killing me this morning.

But, like all things in life, you pick yourself up, and you get back on the horse.  I'm headed to the gym this morning.

Absolutely--and here is the thing. Weight loss and changing our bodies is a lifetime journey. We have to be able to live and splurge here and there.

I agree with Elena. The point is that you get back up again and keep going on your metaphorical horse. lol. With the holidays and a lot of birthdays, I've been falling off my mindful eating journey a lot, but I just plan to be better the next day. This helps me avoid the guilt eating that would usually come after falling off.
