I've been struggling for way too dang long with yo-yo dieting. I just started trying to lose weight again and wouldn't ya know it, my future mother-in-law decided to take my fiancé and I out to my favorite restaurant for dinner last night. I was very grateful, but also pretty frustrated because I knew there was nooo way I could hold myself back. I seriously pigged out. Really bad. Like twice the calories I should have been eating, probably. I woke up this morning with a different mindset than I've ever felt confident enough to have. Unlike the feeling of failure I used to have after those situations, I told myself "So I messed up. Practice makes perfect, and I can and WILL pick up the pieces and keep on moving forward!" I went into the kitchen, I measured out my breakfast, then I then put everything else away before eating so I couldn't overeat. Out of sight, out of mind. I just thought I'd share that with everyone in hopes that others who struggle with portion control may gain some hope. Best wishes, y'all!
