If you forgot to brush your teeth last night...

If you forgot to brush your teeth last night, did you decide this morning to throw in the towel and never brush your teeth again? Since you're obviously a slob who doesn't have enough self- discipline to remember to brush your teeth, why bother brushing them at all if you forgot to last night?

Of course not.

So if you had ice cream for dinner last night, or didn't exercise yesterday, or gained a pound this week, don't throw in the towel! Make a healthier choice for dinner tonight by eating something lean. Go for a short walk. Weigh in again next week.

Just do NOT give up.

Blunt and honest.
Very true.


Thank you =3

My fiance has been known to go two mornings and two nights without brushing his teefers 'cause he "forgot".  However, he's always spot on with his calories, and if he has a bad day, he has a great night and an even better tomorrow.

I should've studied to become a dentist.

Good analogy! I always love reading this stuff. I read it now, then remember it when I need it.

The lady makes a good point...

thanks for that...i just went way over board accidently so that makes me feel much better

Great post.  I just came off a week of vacation that involved a lot of beer, bread, and cheese.  Gotta get back with it now.

too funny and very direct, i like you. i've been reading this book, 'made to stick' (how to make your ideas sticky), anyway before i digress, your post touches on a lot of what they say to get your ideas/message across.

and actually if i brush my teeth after dinner/dessert im less likely to snack.

Awesome point, I just went through that feeling last week. I tried harder with exercise and better eating this week, and lost 1 lb. I'm back on track!

Awesome post, Vee! Don't know if you'll believe this, but that was just the pick up I needed. With June fast approaching and assignments due and exams coming up...my eating habits have gone totally haywire. Normally I'd be able to stop eating when I felt even remotely full, but this past week I've gone back to my old ways of eating more even when I knew I was full. GAHHH...I'm so angry at myself for letting this go on for an entire week...but tomorrow is a new day. Just gotta focus and work my arse off !

Very well put!! nothing to add to it because you put your point across loud and clear.
