Everybody slips now and then - it's part of the journey. But with a bit of planning and a positive attitude you'll keep your slips from turning into a slide.
Managing Slips
A slip doesn't make the entire day, week, month, or program a failure - it's just one action. Use the next opportunity to get back on track. The sooner you're moving forward again, the better you'll feel. Your long-term success depends on how you react and how well you plan to avoid future obstacles.
A for Attitude
If you're the type to say "Well, I had a piece of cake, so I might as well forget the whole thing" - snap out of it! A slip doesn't derail all of your efforts. Instead of being self-defeating, be self-affirming. Remind yourself you can do this. Your health and well-being are worth all the effort!
Take Action!
Start by creating an action plan for handling setbacks you may encounter in the weeks and months ahead. Write down your ideas as a promise to yourself - a promise you'll keep your commitment. Also, think about when you've tried to lose weight in the past, what roadblocks did you face? Again, write down any setbacks you may encounter and ideas to handle them.
Live Well!
