I came across a story of a lady who has lost 119 lbs and this was one of the questions she was asked. I like the answer mainly because it is simular to what I have come to believe which is not easy because we are all inclined to fall and then add misery to it instead of getting up, dusting off and moving forward again.
It is like I said earlier about this holiday weekend, try to keep in control and not eat 6 pieces of cake lol but accept that you will eat "bad" foods or eat too much...there will be many events in life, birthdays, holidays and more, this is part of life and we are all hopeful or should be hopeful to make this a life choice not just I want to fit into that bikini or speedo and look hot and catch Mr/Mrs Right... if they are right they will love you whatever size you are.
You need to take these steps to be healthy and looking good is an added bonus... or at least that's my opinion on it.
How do you prevent relapse?
"Every day is a new day. I allow myself to have a bad choice without having that attitude of "screw it"; I messed up so let's keep messing up and have a piece of cheesecake!"
This is well said. I know that I've had some days that I'll eat junk and then say "well i guess i'll restart my diet tomorrow" and then continue to eat more junk that day. Adding insult to injury
