Fall out Plan

Everyone faces falling out of their diet. This comes especially after eating something sinful or after an accidental binge. Some only experience it once because they're completely off their diet after falling out. No doubt, I personally experience this every so often, especially with my current diet plan that I have been using for so long.

Do not be one of the fall out boys!

This applies to all kinds of diet and usually sets in within the 6~8 week after the period of weight loss thrill. One of the possible reasons for this could be the 'survival' mechanism that your body has turned on. That is, to store as much energy as possible because of the sudden shortage of food. This is our body, it does not recognize our diet program as positive. How would it know that we're having such abundance of food?

This mechanism eventually leads us to give in to cravings. And once the cravings set in, you're more than likely to have a 2nd helping. It sure wouldn't hurt for a 3rd, 4th, 5th as well. And very soon, you'll find yourself getting back into your old ways.

Thinking very negatively, you tell yourself dieting sucks, it's too hard for me. And then you wrap yourself with all sorts of negativity and guilt. Which would eventually lead you to giving up. It's true that what you've eaten cannot be uneaten(save for bulimia).

Feeling guilty what you have wrongly eaten is normal, everyone feels the same way. But do not ever think of giving up just because of one mistake you've made, think long term. Your body does not change just because of a meal/snack. It's your lifestyle that shapes your body. So as long as you do not revert back to your previous diet, nothing will be affected. Just do not be overly paranoid.

Getting Back On Track

Step 1 - Think positive.
Do not delve into the thoughts of giving up and negativity. Discard all that 'i'm too fat, this cake is delicious' thoughts away.

Step 2 - Have a short break,
Eat what you like, but don't binge! Meanwhile, forget all the sinful stuff you have eaten. Don't even try to count the calories!! It's not a debt.

Step 3 - Set a Specific Date(Important!)
Preferably in a few days, no more than a week, to get back onto your diet or exercise routine

Step 4 -Do it
Get back on when that specific day come. Do not procrastinate.
