"Well I've had one piece of chocolate, screw it let me have the whole box"

I think this will relate with many people, you know when you make excuses for yourself as to why you should have one more piece of chocolate? That perfectionist/all or nothing attitude is probably the most imperfect mentality. One too many times I have ruined a good streak of eating well and being healthy just because in my head I think I have ruined it by having somethin naughty. It's hard to wake up and not feel shit about the lack of achievment in the previous day, in fact it's even harder to start a fresh day and not continue that bad streak, or at least I know I have difficulty with it. I have never blogged in my life (you can probably tell by my poor literacy skills lol) but I have chosen to write about this self sabotage so that in a way I can become conscious about it and deal with it rather than fall into a perpetual cycle. I've been stuck in a body that I am unhappy with for such a long time because I have tried to always be the perfect never fall off the wagon type of dieter, and lets face it, that is just NOT realistic! Life constantly throws temptations your way in more forms then one and it is about really conciously forgiving yourself for those mistakes and moving on in all situations looking to mend, not make it worse. So Anisa (that's me by the way) and dear whoever is reading this, it's ok if you ever have a bad day. The wagon you were riding is only going at 10mph and it parks up every night for you to just hop back on again, IT'S NOT A DIET, IT'S LIFESTYLE CHANGE.

Thank you for reading.

Yes thank you Amelia, I am glad you can relate! It's such a destructive way of thinking and I am really trying to change it around. Thank you for the tip/thought process about money spent on shitty t-shirts thats also a good way to look at it. I mean i feel like a drug fiend who gets a taste of the good stuff and can't stop and so I need to kick the addiction once and for all! I hope you can also! When you're having one of those days (you and me both) we should come back and read this stuff that we wrote! Haha good luck xx

I'm totally the same way! Once I eat one "bad" thing, I'm always like "oh well, now I ruined everything so I might as well eat an entire pizza". I read a helpful comment that said you should think of your food more like money in this case: just because you spent 20 dollars on a crappy shirt doesn't mean you should spend the rest of your money on MORE crappy t-shirts. Thanks for writing! :)
