Mistakes Happen

I hope you all got through the challenges of Mother's Day. My accolades to those of you that did! I know how taunting food can be in any social event.

For those of you that were not so successful please don't berate yourself. Just remember one of the most important things is how you react to a mistake.  I'm a firm believer that we should use any deviation as a learning experience.

If you continue to dwell on how bad the mistake is, does that make you feel any better? Of course it doesn’t. But if you use it as something that you can learn from it puts things in a perspective. Think of  slips as "dress rehearsals" for maintenance.

Do you have another event coming up soon? What were your mistakes this past weekend? Figure out exactly what they are and how they happened. Now determine how can you get through the next event without causing a lot of harm to your current eating plan. What can you do differently?

Readers, please share with us how you get through social events successfully.
