Wow. The last two months have been a whirlwind of weddings, birthdays, baby showers, family reunions, and other social events! Anyone on a strict diet understands just how difficult it is to stick with it during social events! Lets just say I slipped a bit. Or a lot. Whatever.
Back in the day I would punish myself when I failed my diet. I would beat myself up emotionally and deprive myself of anything enjoyable until I was 100% back on the bandwagon. However, this never ended positively. I would accept I was a failure at life who deserved to be fat and miserable forever, and then I would resort to eating bowls of cookie dough while watching Bridget Jones' Diary on repeat for days on end.
Not anymore. I told myself when I started this Ketogenic lifestyle that I was NOT going to let myself become so self focused that I would let the "diet" rule my life. Of course, I have to be focused when making healthy decisions, and it is a big part of my life; but I will not let a "slip" become a "failure", if you know what I mean. I have not been focused on my diet these last couple of months, and that's okay! All I have to do is start again, which I'm excited to do!
It really is a freeing feeling when the pressure of a diet no longer rules your life! Now that things have slowed down, I'm ready to jump back into my healthy keto lifestyle. I've learned from the last couple of months, and I refuse to regret them.
Until next time!
