Getting Past What Holds You Back with Baby Boomer Weight Loss Expert Scott 'Q' Marcus
We exist in three times:
Obviously, we can do nothing about our Past Self. Our Future Self is not yet here. The only Self we control is our Present Self.

Let’s face it; we’re overly critical.
If – for example – we’re losing weight and we have a day of which we’re not proud, we say we were “bad,” or we “cheated,” or we beat ourselves up for being “lazy.”
We’re not lazy. We’re certainly not bad.
Don’t label yourself for slip-ups. Rather, describe the error.
For example, wouldn’t it feel better, instead of saying, “I was bad today;” to say “I was ‘sloppy’ or ‘careless'”? One implies that you’re a person of lesser moral value. The other shows you’re human and you made a mistake.
It ebbs and flows.
If one must use the light switch metaphor, it’s wiser to consider success to be a dimmer switch. Some days it’s at full brightness. Other times, it’s very dark.
But, it’s always on.
