I agree with Leigh Anne. One bad choice doesn’t have to lead to a days worth or a week’s worth of bad choices. I used to fall flat after a bad choice, and let it affect my whole week – but now I try to pick myself straight back up and make good choices for the rest of the day – straight back on track.
I also try to keep my whole day balanced – so if I eat a stack of trial baking or overindulge, then I know I won’t need any other food till dinner… I’m trying to get in touch with my gut – eat when I’m hungry, and don’t over-fill. This ONLY works when I’m sweet-free, but it’s such a joy when it works properly!!!

I agree!! If I try to be “perfect” and then fail, I assume the day is wasted and really fall off the wagon. …which is not good. But, if I can admit that there will be failures and the next day/meal is a fresh start then things go much better. One bad choice doesn’t have to leave to a days worth or a weeks worth. Thanks for keeping it real! Sorry your recipes didn’t quite work out, but look forward to the yummy results 🙂
