How To Change Your Mindset Around Slip Ups
In the Half Size Me community, we’ve discussed the fact that it’s easier said than done to focus on making healthy choices at each individual meal.
I’m going to paint a picture for you.
Imagine going to a carnival and having someone tell you that you could have the body you want and be healthy, and all you have to do is juggle 12 balls.

Topics:
-Only lost 2.2 for the month a little discouraged.
-When you have active days and sedentary days- creating a calorie deficit that meets your weight loss goals consistently thru the week and avoiding GIANT deficits on workout days or maintenance days on non active days
-Decreasing/stopping nighttime & middle of the night eating/binging. This is the time of day (night) I still struggle, because I’m tired & less present.
-How a Fitbit can be a good tool without making perfectionists feel like they failed when they don’t reach their goal every day.
-How to count calories or points without being obsessive and/or feeling like I’m on a diet.
-How a morning routine can set us up for success.
-“How to count calories without feeling I’m on a diet.” Strictly speaking, it IS a diet, isn’t it? Please address!
-How do you have a rest day and stay motivated to pick back up the next day. Sometimes I allow a rest day which stretches into a rest week.
-Self sabotage and lack of discipline.
-I do pretty well during the week because it’s so structured, but I struggle on the weekends. I get into the “I deserve a break” mentality and then overdo it.
What You Should Do If You Stop Losing Weight
