Falling Off The Diet Wagon

Chances are that after reading this blog so far, you will be all geared up to lose weight. You will have the formula for doing so and be ready to take off 20 pounds in 3 weeks. So what happens when, after a few days, you get tempted with a piece of cake or some other treat? What happens if you wake up late one morning and do not have time to take your walk? In other words, what do you do when you fall off the wagon?

One of the reasons why many people fail at dieting is because they fall off the wagon. This is a term that is used often to describe alcoholics who start drinking after being sober for a period of time, but it can be used when describing any type of addiction and a break from the routine of trying to overcome bad habits. Many people get very discouraged when they fall off the wagon, to the point that they decide that the entire idea has to be scrapped. Fear of failing again can keep them from even trying to continue with the diet or the healthy lifestyle choice that they have made for themselves. So they go back into their familiar routine, despite the fact that it was not working for them.

If you fall off the wagon while you are practicing this diet, forget it. You made a mistake and ate a piece of cake or didn’t exercise for a day - so what? Everyone makes mistakes. This does not mean that you are a failure. Just get right back into the groove and continue with the plan as if nothing happens. Beating yourself up over a mistake that you made does nothing to help you. Once piece of cake will not sabotage your diet. But giving up because you had that piece of cake will destroy all that you worked for.

Do not be afraid of failure. Continue to persist with your healthy lifestyle choice, despite setbacks. Do not view a deviation as a colossal failure, but a slight setback in what you want to do and continue on with your goal. If you have to add another day onto the diet plan because you splurged at a party, so what? Just get back on the wagon as soon as possible and continue down the path that you have chosen for yourself.
