I’ve slipped up on my diet this month.
⠀
Not just once.
⠀
Multiple times. 🍕🤷‍♂️🍷
⠀
And guess what?
⠀
I know I’ll slip up again.
⠀
So why haven’t I spiraled out of control?
⠀
Why haven’t I gained back the 145 pounds I’ve lost?
⠀
Two things:
⠀
1. Language 🗣
2. Mindset 🧠
⠀
When I overeat, I don’t call it a “binge.”
⠀
I don’t turn it into a game of “how bad can I be?” either…
⠀
I finish my meal and get back to eating the way I’d normally eat.
⠀
The next day, I don’t try and “recover” by drastically cutting calories, fasting, or doing guilt cardio…
⠀
I get back on the regular plan.

⠀
There’s not a single person on Earth who doesn’t veer off track on occasion.
⠀
Everyone overeats and skips workouts.
⠀
No one’s perfect.
⠀
Good news is, you don’t have to be perfect to lose weight and build a lean & healthy body.
⠀
What it takes is consistency 💯
⠀
Consistently hitting your nutrition targets…
Consistently making healthy food choices…
Consistently getting to the gym…
⠀

⠀
Stop beating yourself up after every little mistake.
⠀
Mistakes WILL happen.
⠀
Beating yourself up about it is like twisting the knife after getting stabbed 🔪…
⠀
Or stubbing your toe on a corner and then kicking it with your other foot 😤…
⠀
Or getting a flat tire and slashing the other 3 🚗…
⠀
Maybe yesterday wasn’t your best day. Hell, maybe this past weekend was completely off track… ⠀
Just MOVE ON.
⠀
The next time you slip up (cause it’ll happen), don’t make things worse.
⠀
Acknowledge it 🤔
Accept it happened 😏
Realize it’s not a big deal 🤪
And get back on track ASAP🤗
⠀
Consistency > Perfection
