Be realistic.

Are you a perfectionist? Do you tend to give up and overeat if you can't be perfect with your food? The reality is making one mistake does not mean you have to throw in the towel.

You don't have to be perfect; just be honest with yourself. When you start to tell yourself you're a hopeless case, stop and ask yourself: "Is that really true? Am I really hopeless?"

Action for the day: Be realistic and admit there are things you can do to help yourself and your situation. Today, make a new choice and get moving in a healthier direction.
