    IF YOU START TO SLIP

    Expect some slip ups. When you reach a point where you can see and feel a definite difference in how you feel then it can sometimes be a little difficult to remember how far you have come. Sometimes people simply forget all the hard work that went into getting to the point where they wind up, and this thinking can sometimes lead to these folks slipping back into old habits (eating junk food, not exercising, et cetera) and before they know it the numbers on the scale start to climb back up or colds or the flu start popping up more often than they should. For this reason you should actually expect to occasionally slip up. As long as you recognize what is going on, and you take the steps to correct it and get back on your healthy track, then these slips ups once in a while can be just a normal part of what you deal with. Nobody is perfect, so you can’t expect to stay on course one hundred percent of the time. You should always pay attention to your body so you can realize when a slip up is happening. If part of your health concern is your weight then be sure to monitor your weight on a regular basis. If part of your health concern is you immune system’s functioning then you may want to keep a record of illnesses that you encounter because when you notice a leap in the instances of illness then this will tip you off that something isn’t quite right and you need to address the situation.

    Don’t panic. Slips up will happen, especially if living a healthy lifestyle is a relatively new way of life for you. You can’t expect that you will always be able to maintain a healthy lifestyle through every single instance for the rest of your life. For example, you will inevitably encounter stressful or traumatic situations which will make you want to sit in a recliner and eat boxes of cookies (or some other equally self destructive behavior. Or perhaps you become so busy with a new work or school schedule that you have a hard problem devoting the same amount of time to your healthy regimen that you once devoted to it. These things happen. Don’t panic if you one day realize that you aren’t doing things the way you should and that you are losing your progress. You should be glad that you recognized the problem before it got too out of control and you lost all the ground you achieved. Instead of panicking you can pat yourself on the back for stopping the slip up before it got any worse. Do what you have to do to get back on track and don’t get too frustrated with yourself. You are human, after all, and humans have the funny knack for self-sabotage. You can also be glad that humans have the ability to correct their mistakes and to actively seek ways to better themselves.

    Make sure that you are charting your progress. If you know that your quest for better health will most probably result in a lot of outward physical changes for you then you may want to consider taking some pictures of yourself and keeping a log. Similar to the “before” and “after” photos that you see in ads for diet products, you can use these photos as a great motivational tool. Any time you feel as though you aren’t making progress you can flip through your picture book and see that, yes, you are indeed making progress every single month. Charting your progress does not necessarily mean that you must keep a photographic log of the changes in your body. You can keep a journal where you chronicle how you feel on a day to day basis and use this as proof that a healthier lifestyle makes you feel better overall. If you prefer, you can actually grab some graph paper and keep an actual chart of your progress based on whatever your defining criteria is, whether it’s weight, blood pressure, or whatever other factor you want to base your health improvements on. It can be so incredibly motivating to take a look at what your starting point was and compare it to how far you have come because you will feel empowered as well as accomplished, and that’s might motivating.
