“I’ll make up for it later.”
Implies you can fix a transgression, binge or spell of overeating. YOU CAN’T!!!
“It doesn’t really matter because…”
…I’m not doing well today.
…I’m stressed.
…I’ve already blown it today.
It DOES matter because YOU matter, and your decisions matter. NEVER underestimate the power of one good decision to start a trend of positive ones.
“It’s OK because…”
…I worked out today.
…I’m going to work out later.
…it’s been a tough day.
…I’ll be really careful tomorrow.
It’s NOT ok, it’s just an excuse.
I know these lines all to well. I’ve used them on a daily basis at times. Complete sabotage. I’m trying to recognize these words and stop the sabotage before it starts and destroys my progress.
