    First, if it happens, you have to accept it and move on. Just because you have one bad day, don't give yourself permission to give up. One day of not so good eating isn't going to kill you, just like one day of eating really healthy isn't going to save your life.

    When I'm having those stretch of a few days of fighting myself not to go crazy, I get on MFP and read the message boards or I google success stories or inspirational quotes. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in it I forget i was craving something. Also the success stories are definitely encouraging and motivate me to continue.

    I agree with this. Just accept that every one of us has times where we screw it up and over eat. The biggest tip is to stop calling yourself a failure, forgive yourself when you screw up and eat everything in the house, and keep going.
