Just focus on your next meal or two. Come on, get back up on the horse! 

Don't consider being done for good. Just get back to it. Hang in there! 

When I slip up (quite often lately) I always ask myself if going back to how I used to eat is worth gaining the weight back. It’s not for me so I renew my commitment and strive to do better. Perhaps that motivational self talk would help you as well? Good luck and plz fine get too discouraged! 

Thanks everyone. I am trying to pep talk myself. I need to get back to fixing meals and not getting frozen meals or eating out. Its been so hectic. And now my brother is coming to town Saturday and my niece and nephew are staying in my camper. It never ends 😂😂😭 Just laugh until I cry  

You can surely get back on track. 😀 

Try your best to forgive yourself, forget the slip, and refocus your attention. It is only a few days into the new month......you can do it.....  

what I realized from experience is that when I "slip up", that loss of control comes with not tracking the calories. and If I actually even guess the calories, I realize the food wasn't as bad as I thought it was. sometimes I'm not even eating enough when I splurged and that's because I stopped counting. you can check the calories...and even if you averaged 3000 Cal per day for a week...that's not very much in the long run. so a one week planed diet break is nothing If you accept that's the plan and stick to it. birthday cake is the gift that keeps on giving. 

Life is very hectic :/. Try googling some healthy crockpot meals. You can feed your guests easily if you have a large crockpot. If you are like me and have 4, you can even make different sides so you can have one that fits your diet and they can have one they want. If doing baked potatoes or sweet potatoes I cook them in the microwave. 8-12 minutes for small and 15-20 for large baking ones. Steaming some broccoli takes very little time on the stove. Also making up a fresh veggie relish tray pleases my family at gatherings. If ranch dip is too tempting then consider salsa instead. My fallback is always sandwiches as I can prep them ahead or in minutes if needed. Not good for Keto tho if you are doing that. Chicken and rise of not doing Keto isn’t too high in calories. 1030 per recipe of mine minus the meat. That is about 1/4 of it for a large serving.  

Being kind to yourself when you are off track is important. When you let guilty feelings grow, then you are likely to throw up your hands and binge. A few off diet bites don't have to mean a whole day of eating off task. Enjoy the taste and then get back to healthy WOE. 

Tomorrow is another day, regroup, you will get back on track 

True. You may fall off one day but tomorrow is a new day. Set a small goal for the day. Then you can increase over time. We are all cheering for you. 

Vicki—its just a blip in the road.JUST keep going moving forward— this is not a diet, not a race, this is a change in the way you live your life. There is no finish line. You can do this. I have faith in you. 

Lots of water, and once the sugars from the wine are out of your system, you will feel better. I always forget how tired I feel after a couple of drinks or a box of baklava. As Scarlett O'Hara says, tomorrow is another day! 

Hang in there, my sister did the same and then after eating bad, she found she still lost, perhaps our body gets used to losing that would be great. You can do it! 

probaste con la dieta de joe cross ? 

Woah..STOP the train...you can make a great comeback - just choose one meal and stay on your usual plan. don't fall off for good. you have power and are in control! 

Please don't beat yourself up! It's so hard to keep on course when you're so stressed, and your food and wine time with your mom sounds like it was much needed and stress relieving. Can I suggest you check out this gal's program? I just started listening to her podcast and I love the help and encouragement. She's a life coach who lost 100lbs and has kept it off for a long time and now helps other women. https://www.phit-n-phat.com/free-tools-phit-n-phat/ 

It’s ok!!! Just get back to it. I completely understand and yes everything revolves around food but you can stick to your goals and have fun. I found there are many choices available at these events that you can dabble in and still keeps your goals in check. I found tips in “food in session” podcast. 

Re-focus on U! Pull yourself up out of the rut. U can do it. Don't beat yourself up. Stay strong. Don't dig yourself in any deeper. You can do it. Be encouraged.  

Thank you so much everyone! This is why I love this community! ❤
