Hi ,
Vitality shows not only in the ability to persist but also in the ability to start
over.
—F. Scott Fitzgerald
Are you feeling rather guilty and bloated from overindulging this Thanksgiving Holiday? If so, it’s time to drop the guilt and move on. No amount of self-recrimination will undo the damage that has already occurred. Let it go!
Today is a new day and a new beginning.
Beating yourself up over your behavior increases your shame and guilt which leads right back to the food to numb out uncomfortable feelings. Instead, practice compassion and self-forgiveness, which lightens your load immediately and gets you back on track.
Compassion for yourself means accepting that you're only human and in spite of your best intentions,you won’t ever eat perfectly, especially when confronted with a smorgasbord of tempting choices. Remember, you're human and because so, you won’t always make the best choices, but that doesn’t mean you're a bad
person.
A day or two, or even a long weekend of overindulgence, doesn’t have to ruin a healthy eating plan. You can balance it out by what you eat during the rest of the week.
