Look up, your redemption is near. 

Think positive! You got this! 😉 

Try to think back to the thought that made you pick up the bad things that you're trying to cut out.............. Recognizing what made you want to pick it up in the first place will help you to avoid picking you up in the future. #knowyourtriggers 

& sometimes you just need to cheat day/weekend/week...... we have all been there and regardless of how long it goes on; we got your back 

I have faith that we will over come this. My recent insite was during a discussion with my sister about the weird dreams and lack of control we've both been experiencing. Not having a concrete "future" as a society is definitely undermining us on a subconscious level. One of our friends has sent me a workbook on dealing with stress and anxiety her therapist has her using. If you are interested in the title, send me a pm.  

I had that kind of day yesterday. I went for a long walk this morning and that helped to refocus and reset. You can do this! 

l definitely feel you here, l felt let down by myself when l did that but giving myself one cheat day worked for a while then one turned into 2 and 3 so be careful.....l have been on this keto diet today is my 4th day l know in french they said anything new is beautiful but, l feel it is doing an awesome job, l feel alive l feel like it is working, and it helps when you lose a tooth on the opposite side you already are missing one lol yes yesterday driiving l felt some thing and it was my filling....but instead of thinking oh forget this and eat all soft fatty foods. l got my food processor out and all that veggie sald l took and minced it, which this meant my food would be properly be chewed and l could eat it. I made 3 scrambled eggs and ate the mush and it tasted delicious believe it or not ......anyways l said all that to say don't give up think of at the long run how great you will feel not only about yourself but how you look and feel inside.....good luck  

I can certainly understand where you are, Debbie; I start out the week with the best intentions, then Wham! I forget my goal and give in to the sweets. You CAN get back on, because beginning on Monday, I decided I had enough of this yo-yo dieting, and so far, it's working. Don't give up. 

You got this! Today is only one day. Tomorrow is a new adventure filled with possibilities. Put this one behind you and look forward!  

Love your AWSOME self and dig down deep to find your inner 💪 to want to make that change!! YOU CAN DO YOU!!!💜💜💜🙏🙏🙏 

Hang in there, Deb. You can do it!! 

I think we all have days like that. But you don't give up and you give us such support! Every new day is the chance to tweak things for the better. xXx
