Forgive Yourself

Forgive Yourself You’re not going to get very far into detoxing from a calorie bomb until you forgive yourself for it. If you don’t, you’re holding yourself back from moving past it. Feeling guilty for a poor diet choice can actually lead to making more poor choices. This’s because you can have a mentality of wondering what it matters if you make a few more poor choices. Forgive yourself and move past it.

Realize Weight Loss is a Journey

Realize Weight Loss is a Journey We tend to think of weight loss as a straight path but it can actually be more of a winding road with hills and valleys 🌄. It’s a journey and it takes some time. You probably won’t be completely perfect at every step along the way and that’s okay. It’s certainly no reason to give up! Learn to embrace the journey and celebrate each day you stay the course.

Get Some Perspective

Get Some Perspective Sometimes you just need to get some perspective. You may be beating yourself up over nothing. A treat every now and then is okay. Make sure you’re not classifying an occasional treat as a calorie bomb. A calorie bomb is when you go overboard and inhale hundreds or thousands of needless calories in a day. An occasional treat is just you living life, right?

Drink Lots of Water

Drink Lots of Water After you calorie bomb, you need to hydrate up. This helps in a couple of different ways. It helps you to get back in touch with true hunger signals because we can mistake hunger what’s actually thirst. A glass of water will make the feeling go away that you thought was hunger. Secondly, drinking lots of water after a calorie bomb will help you to flush out toxins and fluids you’re body may be holding onto from any salty treats you may have eaten.

Make Your Next Choice a Good One

Make Your Next Choice a Good One The key to true, lasting weight loss is knowing how to shrug off a bad choice and get back on track. Make your very next choice a good one. No waiting until tomorrow or Monday. If you had an entire 12 inch pizza 🍕 for lunch, don’t make it worse by having a burger with large fries 🍔 🍟for dinner. Choose something healthy and low cal to balance out your calorie bomb.

Get Your Workout on

Get Your Workout on It’s true that 80% of weight loss occurs in the kitchen and only 20% in the gym. But don’t underestimate the importance of working out.

Working out can keep you motivated to live a healthy lifestyle.

When you’re empowered with knowledge and keep the right foods on hand, your calorie bomb episodes will shrink or even disappear.

Eat More Fiber

cartoon, toy, gadget, screenshot, machine, High fiber foods will help clear out your gut and get you back on track. That's because it bulks up in your digestive system and helps normalize bowel functions. If you've way overdone it, eat a healthy meal that incorporates plenty of fiber next time you sit down at the table. Fresh fruits and vegetables are a great source of fiber and are low in calories so they can help balance out the damage you did at your last meal. Try raspberries, pears, asparagus or artichokes, which are especially high in fiber.

Great thanks

This ia kinda interesting😊😊

Wow ok

Thanks for these tips. I literally just binged out on different holiday deserts.

Mrrrr

I find that some of these can lead to toxicity, body dismorphia, and eating disorders. Other ones are helpful and healthy. In my opinion, the best way to get back on track is to forgive yourself and remember to eat healthier food.

Now this is pretty useful
