Loved this post. Tonight I gave into chocolate cravings. I liked what you said about tripping on the crack. Tomorrow morning I am exercising it off, and moving forward. Thanks for the tips.

When I have a slip, I immediately start back on my diet plan. Depending on the nature of the slip, I may pick up my exercise activity for a couple of days to help offset any guilt I may feel.

If for some reason I feel the urge to eat poorly more than one day a week, I will review my personal goals and remind myself of my long-term goal and make note of the progress made. Having written goals can be helpful to those who continuously provide themselves excuses to resort to binge eating.

Congrats! Looks like you are doing great! Sounds like your health is a priority in your life. I am still trying to get to that point. I have gotten to the point of starting from that point, not later. I need to work more on the activity/exercise.

What I do will depend on why I slipped and binged. If it is due to PMT then I tend to continue being ‘naughty’ for the whole day. If it is not my choice – there are no healthy options when I eat out for example, then I tend to be good for the rest of the day. I do tend to be extra good when I start again and sometimes exercise more to burn off a few extra calories.

I recently wrote a few blogs on the same topic. Its important for us to realize that one slip up is not going to break the fat loss bank. Its not an all or nothing game. We’ve just gotta just get back on that horse and keep riding. We live, we learn, and we must remember to give ourselves credit for the steps that we ARE taking toward a better life, not throw in the towel if we make a mistake along the way.

I think that the idea that helped me the most in my fat loss journey was realizing that health and wellness is a life long process. There will always be bumps along the way, but if you stay focused on the overall idea of living a better life in every way, then those little oppsies don’t feel so huge and game ending.

I don’t believe in diets but agree about picking up the pace with exercise and choosing healthier foods more often.

Personally, if I forbid myself from eating certain things, that’s setting myself up for failure. I’m going to have the odd slice of cheese cake etc. so might as well admit it.

Unfortunately I generally go with start again tomorrow or next week. In the meantime I keep on binging. I agree starting again immediately would be much better.
