If you overate yesterday, I have some suggestions.

Appreciate: Say thanks to God for your life, and for your family and beloved friends.

Have enough: Appreciate what you have, the gifts you gave and ones you received.

Be enough:  Know that you are part of God’s creation, and that you are valuable.

Pray for forgiveness and get back on your food plan: just get right back to eating in moderation, with all consciousness.

Go for a vigorous walk, or do some yoga.

Know that you are not alone, and that millions of people around the world overate.  It doesn’t mean the end of the world; it just means you were celebrating.  Now, celebrate the new day by taking good care of your health and psyche.  I find it’s very important to not get into self-shame and self-defeating behavior, because that can cause me to overeat again to feel better.  The best idea for me is to feel better by connecting with God and by being active in my life, not getting into self-pity or personal recrimination and punishment.  I think positively, and love profusely.
