A Rough Day

I have to admit something. Yesterday was a rough day. Some days are easier than others to stick with this weight loss plan. And some days you get some tough news that make it almost impossible to have the desire to stick to this weight loss plan. And yesterday was one of those days.

I know that I am an emotional eater. I think that is a good reason why I ended up where I am. And I know that I need to change my ways and work through my emotions with other things - not food. But like they say, Rome wasn't built in a day. And I can't get over my issues in one month. So yesterday I crashed. Not too hard - but a still a crash.

I didn't regret any of my decisions yesterday, but today I'm feeling them. I am upset with myself that I would give in so easily to my emotions. I'm upset that I would allow those emotions to set me back on the way to my goal. And I'm really upset that I didn't even care yesterday.

But I'm back on plan today. I'm being conscious of what I'm eating today and making sure that I stick 100% to my eating plan. I'm not sure what my sidestep will do for my weekly weight loss, but I'm hoping that it won't hurt me too badly. It was one day. It's over. Today is a new day. I'm putting yesterday behind me and just moving forward.

That's really how anyone can be successful with this (or any) weight loss program. Take one day at a time. Realize that sometimes you'll mess up. And when you do mess up, learn from it and move on.
