Five strategies to help you bounce back after a diet hiccup. 1️⃣ Resilience. If habit change happened in one easy attempt, we’d all be ripped with amazing mindsets. But change doesn’t work that way. Change works by going great for a little while - then life kicks in and you forget your new habits and return to your old eating habits. Then you pick yourself back up and eat healthy for a longer time period. It might feel like you’re starting from scratch but you’re just building more familiarity with your new habit making it easier each time you do it - but only as long as you learn from slip ups and don’t treat them as a catastrophe. 2️⃣ Scheduling. It's not the individual impact of a hiccup that holds you back from achieving your weight loss goals. It’s the cumulative impact of not getting back on track and doing it quickly. If you can’t perform your habit as planned, do the minimum you can to stay on schedule. 3️⃣ Consistency. Do what you can as often as you can and just stick with the healthy eating plan. 4️⃣ Self-efficacy. Having self-belief in your ability to achieve your goal gives you more freedom to make mistakes and allows you to cope with setbacks by seeing them for what they are - temporary hurdles. 5️⃣ Self-compassion. When you have a diet hiccup, try to give yourself the advice you’d give a good friend in the same situation. Self-compassion is about recognising in ourselves that we are human and naturally imperfect. One biscuit 🍪 needn’t be a self-indulgence but a form or self care, but eating the whole packet stops you from reaching your goals. Practise self-compassion rather than self-criticism when possible.
