That Sudden Out of Control Moment

by Maria's Last Diet


When you are trying to kick a bad habit like overeating or eating foods that are too fattening, did you know that only a very minor blip can result in a major relapse (back into your unwanted behavior)?

What a disappointment this can be for anyone who has been maintaining good eating habits, dieting well, losing weight steadily, and feeling good and confident about their efforts.

Why the small blip causes such a major reaction is often hard to understand. But if you do have a relapse, investigate it. See what the blip was that may have triggered it. Even the smallest things, like a hurtful remark, or a fleeting memory, or a momentary loss of confidence, or even a passing negative thought can make the "falling off" into a mystery that you should try to solve. And see what you can do to prevent that small event from throwing you off again.
