Hi,

I wasn’t actually planning on sharing this, but I realize that it happens to the very best of us. I have been on lock-down for the past 4 days because of flu, and I haven’t been able to go to the gym. You know what the other implication is? My healthy eating regimen has gone out of the window also.

It is true that I have been in bed for the most part, but I think I used that as an excuse to have my cheat day extended to three days. So guess what I had today? My favorite Tutto pizza. It broke my heart when I dove to buy it, but, I gave myself a million reason why it is not a bad idea.

I decided to share this because I have been beating myself down because of it, which is not really helping me at this time. I have just decided right this moment that feeling guilty about it does not help me or my weight loss goals. Yes I have been sabotaging my weight loss efforts, but the fact of the matter is, it is OK. It is allowed!

All it means is that I need to learn from this, and move forward. It does not mean my healthy eating ways or my exercise regimen is out of the way, it just means I sucuumbed to a moment of weakness, I sucuumbed to the craving of eating my favorite pizza.

I am not totally impressed by it, but it just makes me want to wipe the slate clean. I will start all over tomorrow, and I will keep pressing forward. I am not going to punish myself tomorrow just because of what I did today. This is one of the mindsets we should all have if we want a succesful weight loss journey.

The lesson here is, just because we fall off the wagon now and again does not mean it is all over, or that you have failed. If it happens to you, get up and continue on that journey. Giving up is not an OPTION.

I am sure that I am not the only one that this has happened to. What is your story? Please do share how you blew it in your journey and how you got back to your feet?

To your successful weight loss journey . . .
