    You are absolutely not a failure. You are human and we are far from perfect. You acknowledged that you binged on things that you shouldn't have, learn from it and move on. Calling yourself a failure is setting yourself up for not succeeding. It is ok to mess up. Just get back on the crazy ride and try again. Most of us didn't get it right the first time! No matter what you think of yourself, I think you are beautiful! :flowerforyou:

    Don't wait for tomorrow to turn it around, start this very second. You can still get a good workout in and burn some of those calories off. Go for a walk. Do some jumping jacks. Every little bit of exercise will help. Drink plenty of water to flush some of that crap out of your body. If you were driving in the wrong direction you wouldn't wait a day to turn around, so why should eating right and exercising be any different?

    Great analogy...I never thought of it like that... I will remember this analogy next time I am in this position.

    You're only a failure if you give up. Have a healthy dinner and start again tomorrow. You can do this.

    You should definitely follow the advice of everyone on here. I think we have all had those days. I have had several of them and still managed to lose quite a bit of weight. I don't let it stop me from my ultimate goal. If you aren't supposed to have these things then my advice would be to keep them out of the house. I would also suggest getting in a long workout today.

    You have to be able to forgive yourself. These kind of days are going to happen, because you're human! We all are :) I know it is extremely difficult, but this is a process - there are going to be streaks where you're totally on target and winning, and there are going to be days when you slip. The goal is to make the winning outweigh the slips, and love yourself enough to forgive yourself when less than perfect days happen :)

    You CAN do this! :)

    ^^ beautifully said! we all have off-days, just make the next day better!
