AI was @ work and i work @ a convenience store and i just started SMASHING on some choco tacos lol so now i feel real guilty lol so guilty i had to post about it im goin to the gym after work and first i do weights for like 1 hr with moderate intensity and then about a hour of cardio in the end ill probably still be in about a 100-200 cal defecit but i still feel guilty :/
 
Honestly, I don't know. I struggle with that sometimes myself. Even if you plan it in, you feel like "Damn, I shouldn't have done that."


It's hard to forget, but maybe it's best to try. You've already reasoned it out in your head, so let it go and do what you do.


Or use it as motivation.
 
I try to learn from my mistakes - like I was always slipping up and getting really yummy drinks from the drivethru. I decided to find out why I was doing it (convienience, they taste good, I am thirsty, I am bored/stresses/angry....) then I tried to find alternatives that would work for me. It's a trial and error process and you reallyl get to know yourself!

Another thing I found that it worked well for me when I was really struggling was reminding myself of my goal in the morning and before bed as well as during moments of temptation - if I can remind myself that the end goal is way more important than the immediate gratification of whatever - then I am not going to indulge (as often).


I still slip up, but I am getting there. Some months are better than others - I figure, that's just the way it is.
 
Sometimes you slip up, but it's okay. Just remember it's okay to reward yourself sometimes as long as it doesn't go as far as binge drinking.
 
I typically panic a little...but I've been trying to view this whole experience as a lifestyle change rather than a "diet" so I punish myself less when I make a mistake. To work off the anxiety, I'll find an activity that calms me like listening to music or, hell, even just pacing around my room with my earbuds in... =/
