Honestly I’d say by picking yourself up and going the extra mile because no matter how many times we fall , all that matters is that one time we choose to get up

By imagining that you’re talking to your friend, would you blame them for missing a workout? Maybe you would have a more gentle aproach, such as telling them they are human, things like that happen to all of us and it’s fine that they don’t follow it perfectly, just trying it’s okay, well it’s the same for you, you gotta be your own best friend in this journey! And perhaps try new exercises or new foods(even weird ones), or other ways to make those habits enjoyable for you! :)

The most important thing you can realize is that one “unhealthy” or “bad” action won’t ruin, redetermine, or even affect your healthy lifestyle. Remind yourself of how far you’ve come and just make sure you continue to build good habits. Don’t be afraid to mess up once in a while—we’re human, we make mistakes.

try to catch up… i mean when you eat too much, just eat less for the rest of the day, when you didn’t workout just try to do it tomorrow. Tomorrow try to be a better person than you are today and don’t forget that the essential thing to keep going is to find your very own motivation and no matter what are you doing no matter where are you, that thought in your mind should keep you going and improving yourself, i got you. I had problems with blaming myself as well, i have even starve myself for eating too much unhealthy food. don’t do it, just try to change your habits and try to show yourself that you can achieve everything and your organism can’t stop you, you own the body, not the body own you <3

Firstly I want to say please don’t blame yourself for anything. Rom was not built in one day. Change is a slow process and for this you need power. If you blame yourself you will do decrease your soul power. So it’s my request please stop blaming. Piece Namaste!🙏!

Assigning blame to self or others will not solve a problem. A better solution would be to analyse the situation, and take the necessary steps/ resources to reach your goal. Remember that the original plan you chose was for your own betterment. Thusly, continue making the best choices for your own well-being. Choose growth and self love over blame. This is just another hurdle in life. Arise.

acknowledge that you are human and that you are at least trying. begin again, and keep trying over and over again. you’ll get there eventually

Its not me its my mental illness. I can’t keep blaming myself for things I can’t control, i know its hard to get motivated but i still need to keep trying.

Realize that missing a workout isn’t always a bad thing. Count how many workouts you’ve done this week and go from there. Just enjoy the food you’ve chosen and think about the next meal. There’s always next time to do better. But above all, think progress, not perfection.

“Tomorrow is a new day,,, you can do better tomorrow **claps hands** yes😌” is what I tell myself every time I do something that I made a ‘mistake’ on
