When it comes to weight loss, there are going to be set-backs. It is important that you avoid using “all or nothing” statements. There will be slip-ups. Just accept the slip-up and get back on track. Do not beat yourself up over it. If you expect to have some setbacks, it will be easier to recover and move on. Focus on the good work you have done.
If you do experience a set-back, get back
on track immediately by:
- Rectifying the cause
- Re-implementing your plan
- Setting extra-short term goals (if necessary)
A typical overeating episode produces a weight gain of up to 25 g. This can be recovered. What you do and tell yourself after overeating is what is important, not the overeating itself.
