Don't Beat Yourself Up, Have A Cookie!

This is a good thing to remember when trying to lose weight or even just eat healthily. I think sometimes we can be too hard on ourselves when we slip up, it's not the end of the world if we have a takeaway or a piece of cake. That one slip up isn't going to erase all your hard work, in fact a little bit of what we crave can be good for our body and soul. You'll drive yourself crazy denying yourself the foods you love or crave, allow a good chocolate eating session once in a while!

I'll be the first to throw my hands up and say I often suffer with the yummy food guilt (feeling guilty after eating bad foods). It's ridiculous that we program ourselves to feel like we need to be punished for eating the foods we love. As long as you're eating healthily more days than your eating unhealthily, you'll be fine. So don't force yourself to be a rabbit if you're a cookie monster, have a cookie every now and again, stick your head under a chocolate fountain if it kills a craving, you're only human, don't beat yourself up about it!
