EUGENIZATION.

One particularly nefarious method of self-sabotage is to say to yourself, “Well, looks like I blew my diet today; might as well forget about it and try again tomorrow.”

Realize that every meal, every feeding is opportunity for tabula rasa - that even if you screw up one meal, while you can’t “make up” for that one meal, you can start over with a clean slate with the next one.

Just because you cheated on one meal doesn’t mean you blew it. Just get back on the wagon with your next feeding.

On a related note, if you’re currently making better choices with regards to your diet, congratulations!

Just remember not to stop there. Chances are, there’s even better choices than those “better choices” you’re currently making.
