I've fallen off many a time due to outside forces or by the encouragement of others. One thing that has helped me more than anything is thinking about how I feel AFTER I mess up. I usually feel bloated, tired and my tummy feels terrible. I know it basically means everything there is terrible for me.


I was reading an article about Drew Carey (who lost an immense amount of weight and is continuing to be low carb) ... he said he fell one night (I believe it was a party or something) and ate a whole pizza. He felt like death the next day and gained a couple of lbs. He said it woke him up and he realizes it's basically eating poison.

His story helped me frame it in that way - it's poison. I fail all the time and get back on - each time learning from my mistakes and eliminating the triggers. Now its becoming fewer and farther between. Good luck to you.
