Tell yourself this too shall pass.

Weight Loss Surgery Support: Daily Inspiration for December 22, 2010Katie Jay, MSW

 

Tell yourself this too shall pass.

 

If the holidays have put a dent in your healthy lifestyle, it's time to forgive yourself and know the holidays will end shortly. You will soon be moving on and getting back into your healthier habits.

 

When you are in a bad place with food, the fear is that you will be there forever. But you won't be. This too shall pass. Tell yourself that and start making plans for better days. They are just around the corner.

 

Action for the day: In your journal, write a loving and healthy plan for tomorrow that will help you feel in control of your eating and your life.

Thank you for this positive thought.  I have been tempted and not eating according to my normal routine, but I am proud of the fact that I have been recording everything I do eat, owning up to it, and have not exceeded my calorie limits hardly at all.  But, even still, just knowing that I have been eating less nutritious choices with more carbs makes me start to panic that I could just start to get fat again.  Your suggestion helps me to get rid of that "stinkin' thinkin'" (as Connie Stapleton calls it).

Happy holidays to you Molly and thank you for all that you do for this group!
