Dinner is great, but the next morning you wake up feeling bloated. Not only that, but you feel guilty and like you are the world\u2019s biggest failure (which is a common feeling for many women).<\/p>\n<p>You have two choices:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1. \u00a0Continue in the same pattern because you feel like there is no use in even trying<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>OR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\">2. \u00a0Evaluate how you could have done it differently and have a plan for the next time you go out for Mexican food<\/p>\n<p>My advice to get over the feelings of guilt, is option number 2. You have never messed up so bad that you can\u2019t get back up and try again.
