Battling Slipups
If you’re on a healthy eating plan, you’re going to slip every once in a while. It’s a fact of life. Some people call it cheating, but really, it’s entirely normal. Usually the slip isn’t the problem. It’s the way we react to the slip that counts.
One slip won’t ruin your overall progress. However, if you notice a series of slips, or think that you are returning to your old eating habits, take notice. If you think you’re losing your overall focus, or have gained back more than 3 pounds, take steps to refocus and seek help.
Make a list of any “clues” that you notice. For example, clues on your list might include a significant weight gain, a week without exercise, clothes that don’t fit, or the return of an old bad habit that you had broken.
