You haven't blown it!

I hear so many of my clients and members tell me how they've "blown it" and go into the details of their food escapade.  They use the term of "blowing it" as a way to further beat themselves up for their perceived food crimes.

The simple terms of "blowing it" are a catalyst to driving us to the closet drive thru to further blow it.  If you've blow it already, what's more?

There is nothing to blow.  As a weight loss surgery post-op, you are not on a diet.  You made certain food choices.  You can't undo the choices you made.  Don't look back but look ahead.  What will you do for your next food choices? 

The idea of blowing it is a setup for overeating and, in some instances, a binge.  It's a mindset that overeaters use to give themselves permission to compulsively overeat. 

Don't wave the white flag and surrender by compounding an unhealthy food choice with another.  Stop thinking in terms of black/white, blowing it/eating perfectly.  You ate more than you'd like, you made choices you wish you hadn't.  So what?  All of us do that at one time or another.  The next action you take is the most important - do you throw in the towel or get right back on track with healthy food choices?  That determines your level of success!
