We all make mistakes. I make mistakes everyday. Everyday I either call someone I didn’t mean to call or mail something before I meant to mail it. Or forget to lock the door when I leave the house. Or make a wrong turn when I’m driving. I don’t make a big fuss…mistakes will always happen.
And since we all make mistakes…we all have to figure out how to let them go and forgive ourselves. If we don’t then we can’t move on. And if we handled our everyday mistakes this way…we’d all get so bogged down and overwhelmed that we’d quickly end up with a mental breakdown from regret and guilt.
These theories about mistakes and forgiveness can be applied to dieting quite easily. Every diet is dependent upon one thing: rules. The rules of a diet tell us what to eat, what not to eat, when to eat and when not to eat.
Most people that decide they are going to go on a diet are quite serious. They want to lose weight. They have specific reasons. They need to lose weight or they really, really want to lose weight. But even when a dieter is totally dedicated mistakes happen. It’s just a bit of a slipup. You ate something you shouldn’t have. Or you forgot to eat something you were supposed to eat. Or you ate too much of something.
Once you’ve made the mistake (whatever mistake it happens to be) you feel terrible. Many feel like they just failed at their diet entirely. Everyone decides to go on a diet for a reason. They are sure they can do it. They just know that they won’t be breaking the rules.
So when dieters DO break the rules they find it very disheartening. Breaking the rules that you were so positive that you wouldn’t break makes it hard to move forward. Maybe you just couldn’t stand to tell your niece that you weren’t going to eat that box of cookies she made specifically for you. Or maybe you had a horrible day at work and followed it up with a slight breakdown involving hot wings, french fries and ice cream.
The right move following a mistake of any magnitude is to immediately reassert yourself and start following the rules again. When you fall off a horse…what do you do? You get back on immediately. Same goes for falling off your diet plan. Don’t waste time wallowing in guilt. Just admit to yourself that you made a mistake and move on; getting right back on track according to the diet’s rules.
Dieters who are considering a very low calorie diet like the one that is required for homeopathic HCG programs know that having all the information is important. HCG diet info is very detailed and clear in what is expected. This makes it easier not only to avoid mistakes, but to identify the mistakes that have been made. HCG diet info is included in a handy pocket guide so dieters are able to carry the rules around with them easily. This makes avoiding mistakes even easier.
