Weight Loss A Lapse Is Not A Relapse

One of the mistakes people make is turning a lapse into a relapse.

We all have lapses.

How well you manage it depends on how you think about it, what you focus on and what you do afterwards.

First, think about it as a temporary lapse, not as a relapse that erases everything you have been working for. If you think about it in this way, you will be less likely to go into a downward spiral with eating.

Second, focus on getting back on track as quickly as possible. Do not give yourself permission to keep eating since you ?have already blown it?.

This is an excuse.

Be realistic ? we all get off track many, many times over the course of getting to where we want to be.

Accept it.

This is a normal and natural path.

There is also a lot to learn in getting OFF the path.

You can learn what DOESN?T work, what triggers your eating, and you have an opportunity to create a new strategy for that situation in the future.

So don't sabotage yourself.

Third, just like when you have an angry outburst, what you do afterwards is often more important than what you have already done.

That means thinking clearly, acting rationally, being kind and recovering as quickly as possible. You may be upset or frustrated with your own behavior, but it is not the end of the world.

It can be fixed.

You can get right back on the path without too much damage done. So FORGIVE YOURSELF and keep taking steps toward your goal.

Count as a win your ability to recover quickly, and keep going.
