First day of the rest of your lives

[mommagoose]

I must say you are all depressing me. Not a good thing because my Seasonal Affective Disorder is beginning to kick in. I am very saddened by the fact so many of you are beating yourselves up because you went off the wagon over the weekend. So you were human and ate a slice of bread. You ate a twinky or you ate 25 carbs when you wanted to eat only 20 carbs. Guess what ! You are human. Move on. Get back in the groove and stop beating yourselves up.
I am still in induction and yesterday I made Faux potaoes. They tasted great and I ate a second portion which put me over on carbs for the day. So what! Somedays I eat less than 20 carbs but I don't beat myself up about it. It all averages out in the end and when I weigh at the end of the week I still lost 2 pounds.
Come on people love yourselves and forgive yourselves and try to stick to your plan
but end the guilt trips. They are counter productive. I love you guys.

Thank you. I came here beating myself up today and you've made me realize there's no need. Get our heads back together and move on is all we have to do!

Good advice! I have strayed away from this WOL for beating myself up over the smallest added carbs (10), when I should have kept my head high and kept going. I am doing well so far this time and I am determined not to let a small slip throw me this time around.

Agree! Every day is a new day to begin anew if you messed up. Never give up on yourself and making yourself a new person!!

Thanks, mommagoose. You are very wise, indeed. I'm horrible at beating myself up for the SMALLEST things; I'm better than I used to be, but still have a lot of work to do. Thanks for the sanity check!
