You will be hungry. That’s okay. Hunger is not an emergency—it’s just your stomach being dramatic. Distract yourself with a walk, a glass of water, or a nap. If you’re truly starving, eat a handful of almonds or a hard-boiled egg, then move on with your life.
Don’t be a martyr. If you have a slice of pizza at a party, don’t spiral into shame. One meal won’t ruin you, just like one salad won’t make you a size zero. Get right back to the plan the next meal. No punishments, just small course corrections.
