Try and try again

I keep dieting, losing 10 lbs, then getting thrown off, gaining the 10 lbs back and repeating. I need to figure out how to stick to my guns. Usually I get off by having a cheat day and never going back. Last time it was because of my birthday. I also keep going back on pop. That pop addiction really doesn't help.

I'm starting up, yet again. Hopefully I'll see this journal entry staring me in the face when I go on this website and remind myself that I need to keep trying. If I have a bad day, just keep trying.  When you're making cookies (or, in a healthier situation, an egg white omelet) if you drop an egg on the ground do you just say "screw it!" and drop the rest of the dozen? No, that would be ridiculous. You just keep on going with what you're doing. That's what I need to remind myself. Just keep going. If I end up eating one unhealthy meal I can't just say "screw it" and eat whatever I want. Just eat healthy after that. If I have a pop at a friend's house, I shouldn't just say "screw it" and start drinking it in general again. Just stick to that one and go back to coffee and tea afterward. Don't drop all the eggs!

I can do this, I just need to remind myself to keep trying and not give up if I mess up once.

God I wish I was naturally skinny with a good metablosim! Still, since I'm not, I'll just have to work at it. It's my fate, I just need to deal with it.
