This weekend, if you get off track, don’t get discouraged. Remind yourself that mistakes are part of the process, and get right back on track.

Today I had a session with my client, Melissa. For the past few months, Melissa has been working on not having dessert before dinner. This is a necessary skill for Melissa to implement because, like a lot of dieters, Melissa encounters dessert all day long.

If, for example, you’re drinking soda 7 days a week and want to cut it out, remember there’s a difference between drinking it every day and never drinking.

It’s okay to eat this because it’s healthy. Response: I can gain weight eating all healthy foods, too. All foods have calories.

“I don’t deserve credit for my dieting tasks because I should already be doing them.” No, you SHOULDN’T already be doing these things, because you didn’t know how.

Is your eating environment a nice place to be? If you eat at a table that is cluttered with other things, it can cause a more stressful eating experience.

Remember, your body does not know or care that it’s a weekend; it processes calories the same regardless of the day of the week.

Think Thin Thursday Tip: If you’re feeling discouraged by getting off track, remind yourself that you ARE capable of major change.

Getting off track from time to time is okay because at least I get to eat my favorite foods. Response: There’s no food I can eat when I’m off track that I can’t also eat when I’m on track.

If you think, “I’ll start my diet tomorrow,” remember putting it off strengthens the resistance muscle; you’re allowing yourself not to do what you need to.
