Aftermath of a Eating Holiday

So how did you do last weekend? Did you practice moderation or did you get off track? Are you still beating yourself up if you didn't do well? To those of you who did well pat yourself on the back and offer yourself some kind of non-food reward for all your hard work. And the rest of you who did not do as well I have some special words.

Stephen Covey says: " One of the most helpful images to have of yourself in your family is that of a trim tab-the small rudder that moves the big rudder and eventually changes the entire direction of the plan."

What he is basically saying here is that we get caught up in the "shoulds, ought to's, could have's" and so on. But what does it really leave you with? Regrets? Beating yourself up? 

Well today's a new day, right? So stop any negative thinking now and go forward. What did you learn? What will you do next time? We have three  weeks now to plan for Thanksgiving. In-between that we probably have a dozen or more other social events around food. 

So be bold, stop thinking of the past and decide, really decide today that you will  take positive action steps in the weeks ahead. A synonym for the word "decide" is: to "determine, settle, rule, or resolve."  In other words you will take action against making old similar mistakes. Make a game plan and stick to it! Need help, I'm here remember? And, honestly, you actually have all the Diet Mojo you need right in your own head. The answers are there, you just need to decide to find them and then ACT on them!
