Not being so hard on yourself.

We all want that perfect figure, but beating ourself up is no help. Try to lighten up a little. I take my new lifestyle very seriously but if I have something I shouldn't I just try to overcome it, move on and try to make better choices the next time.

MORE INFORMATION:
The idea is learn from our mistakes and learn to make healthy choices we can live with not to feel deprived and hungry.
