Make a list of the things you like about IP and weight loss and another list of the reasons why continuing with your poor choices is a bad idea. Read it over and over and over again. And stay away from the alcohol! Not only for the calorie/carb/GI reasons, but also because it can inhibit your ability to exercise control.
You are in control. You don't have to apologize or feel guilty for falling off the horse. Just get back on for goodness sake. You can do this!

This is absolutely great advice. You will be so glad if you just follow it.

YOU want it YOU eat it that is all there is to it. IF you don't want it DON"T PICK IT UP, no need to feel guilty you know what you were doing when you ate it. Sorry if this seems harsh but I don't "sugar coat" anything, it is what it is....IF you WANT something bad enough you WILL CHANGE, not let anything get in your way of making the correct decisions in eating healthy.

Wuv has just given all of us some pearls of wisdom here. I copied her response above and emailed it to myself plus put it in a word document I've compiled on IP motivation. Think about doing the same and read these selections daily, twice a day or more, whatever you need to re-program your self talk into a dialogue of happy discipline, not one of allowing these slip-ups.

Gotta go with Wuv here. If it is important to you, you will find a way. If it is not, you will find an excuse. Just pick yourself back up and move on and really COMMIT to losing the weight or, well I guess dont worry about gaining . I have learned through IP and WUV that I am in control of the food and choices I make when eating. If I go to make an excuse I remind myself that I am making that choice. Amazing how quickly it stops me from eating something. Not even tempted anymore and I have 15 boxes of girl scout cookies sitting here, not even a temptation to me. Today I entered the 100's for the first time in a long time and that means more to me than any cookie, chip, alcoholic drink etc ever will. I am proud of myself for the first time today
