eek gad. I’m not 100% sure of what I ate tonight at the picnic. I sabotaged myself yesterday when I said I felt a blow-my-diet-weekend coming on. I should have said, I feel a I’m-not-going-to-blow-my-diet weekend coming on. My self-fulfilling prophecy was fulfilled tonight. I looked at 3 large picnic tables full of food and drink, and suddenly I didn’t care much anymore. I did pass on the chips, the white pasta and fried chicken, but I ate a lot. Several things I couldn’t recognize, but I enjoyed every bite! The best and worst part of the night (other than when I received 2 awards) was the chocolate-frosted caramel-infused brownie. (yes, I ate the whole thing.)Pep talk: Now.  What to do with this information? That is the key. When you try and don’t succeed, try try again, right? Well, that’s my plan. Tomorrow, I’ve already told the kids we are headed to the gym. You won’t get anywhere if you quit now. Pick yourself up and start again. You will drop any weight gained this weekend very quickly. If you continue on this path, however, all your hard work will be lost, and you may end up worse off than where you started a month ago.  One whole month of dieting, and you only went off your diet once?  Pretty darn good, if you ask me.

How do you talk yourself up? What things do you tell yourself when you need to get back on track?
