The same thing goes for food. When you are following a healthy lifestyle, you get emotional and want to quit so badly. This usually happens during the first couple of months.
Your mind and body are getting used to the new experience and that transition could give you bad thoughts.
I’ve been there.
There was a time when I wanted to quit what I was doing. Luckily for me, there was my husband to keep me motivated all the time. I thought healthy eating wasn’t for me.
He was supportive and he was always comparing the fight with a little child learning how to walk.
“When a Child Learns to Walk and Falls Down 50 Times He Never Says to Himself: Maybe this isn’t for me?”
This became my motto and here am I now.So, you are a little bit off the path you decided to walk. What now?
It’s time for you to focus and get back into it ASAP.
Here are 8 tips that will help you achieve any goal worth having. I took the low carb diet as a focus point.

Don’t beat yourself up for it
It’s time to move on. My job is like that. I see many people who use to struggle to keep up with their healthy lifestyle and broke down emotionally.
Think about it. You are a human after all. You will have your moment of success and failure. They are cousins. It’s okay. Pick up your focus and keep on trying.
You didn’t lose anything. But, you have to shake it off and start working on yourself again.

Don’t excuse your behavior. Own it!
You are the one to blame. No one else. Be a brave person and admit that you did something wrong. Don’t look for excuses because no one wants to listen to them.
Ask yourself how did you fall under that influence? Find the answers and make sure you don’t do the same thing all over again.
Prepare yourself before you go out next time. Don’t go out hungry. That’s one of the key things.

Take Notes
Whenever I want to learn something new, or be disciplined about something, I’m writing it down.
The next time I will get things wrong again, I go over this notebook and see if it has been written down before. The next time, I will remember the notes and stop myself from messing things up again.
Writing about the mistakes is more vivid and real. Make sure you write down how did you feel while doing that, too.

Salad for breakfast? Yes PLEASE!
That’s how I know so much about it.
Salad for breakfast is completely the opposite of the other meal plans you had for the morning. Why holding on to those mental boundaries?
Eating low carb vegetables in the morning is like resetting your body from that good night sleep. It tastes and feels clean and will give you enough energy for the day.
Everything is in your head. After a while, you will feel addicted to the salad. Your mind will feel that it needs natural salad “poison” to function through the day.
It’s healthy and it’s beautiful!

Bringing H2O
There are many ways to drink the required minimum of water on a daily basis. You can consume a clear version of it, or you can alkalize it with fruits or some vegetables.
Alcohol and other beverages will give you headaches and inflammatory properties while water will flush your system and make you healthier.

Cut the alcohol
Alcohol is a toxin and you need to focus on flushing the toxins out of your body instead of welcoming them in.
