6. Guilt over mistakes. If you are out with friends and get talked into dessert, don’t beat yourself up. “Guilt can set in and, for some people, that gets them moving in a backwards direction". Even if you did enjoy your indulgence, put it in perspective — it’s just one mistake compared to all your good diet choices yesterday, today, and the ones you'll make tomorrow.
Comment: Been here, many times. I think our minds use this as a way to quit dieting. I've found myself indulging in something I shouldn't be eating and the rest of my day is shot. I allow myself to eat whatever I want for the rest of the day and sometimes the next day. Then we come to our senses and start back only to fall for it again and again and again. Reprogram your brain to believe that this is just one failure and not a reason to give up.
