    In the book, "You! On a Diet" it says, (and I paraphrase) if you slip up (say eat 1/2 a cake or go for an extra slice of pizza) simply make a "U-Turn." It likens it to the GPS system in your car... if you miss a turn, it doesn't say... well, you've screwed up now, you might as well go all the way in the wrong direction. No. Instead it says, at your next possible opportunity, make a U-Turn. Using this logic, there is no longer such a thing as a "gateway" food or an excuse to give up. Because if you screw up, just make a U-Turn and get back on the right course

    When I slip up I try really hard not to beat myself up, simply I believe if you mess up and something bad make the healthiest choice as soon as you can. Personally I don't wait till tomorrow to get back on the horse I try to it the very next moment. With all the great people here and my wife at home it helps with a good kick in the rump too lol
