As a health coach, nothing makes me more excited than having a client text me excitedly with an “Aha” moment.  What is an “aha” moment you ask?  Well it’s best described as a word we use in self-discovery.  To find that something that has prevented you from reaching a goal or succeeding in something you’ve been working towards.  These moments are little personal triumphs. They are buried deep in our subconscious just patiently waiting to become part of our consciousness.

So it’s Monday morning and you wake up with this overwhelming guilt and shame because of your behavior over the weekend.  You enjoyed it to the fullest after sticking to a strict eating plan all week, come Friday night the feedbag was strapped on and it was non-stop eating and drinking all weekend.  No thinking, just enjoyment and now you feel terrible.  I have one tidbit of advise…STOP!  Don’t beat yourself up.  No one and I mean NO ONE can live their life eating on point 24/7.  There is this thing called life and we should be able to live it and enjoy it.  Making yourself feel bad is just going to send you spiraling downward and lead to more indulging.  Get up, enjoy the memories of the weekend, tell yourself that you are awesome and hop back on the wagon.  But perhaps you should reflect on your weekly habits and see if there is some tweaking that needs to be done to stop the insanity on the weekend (This is where you would call your health coach and that would be me).
