I learned a valuable lesson today that I do not think I learned in the past.

People are going to slip up. I'm going to slip up. What I have done before when trying to lose weight, I've gotten mad and even beaten myself up. Today I did not do that. This morning I had left over goulash for breakfast. I decided to get some ritz crackers with it as well. Well I ended up eating a whole row of Ritz crackers. Instead of beating myself up, I ate the crackers then thought about it. It was my decision to eat that many. they did not jump into my mouth. I can't let myself be negative and make myself feel worse about decisions I make. When I do that, I end up feeling guilty - then feel sad - then eat more. It's a horrible cycle. No more.
