    I usually just start over the next day.

    Don't beat yourself over it, just log it and move on. Tomorrow is a brand new day. :flowerforyou:

    New day, new way. Pray, ask for guidance and forgiveness, especially to yourself, soometimes we feel I need to beat myself up, I'm doing too good."Forget about it". If you gain, they are called fluff pounds and will go away, just focus forward and get back on the track and GO. Keep your goals posted and GO, to the goal and away form what you really don't want. Forgiveness is a big thing.

    I used to have this horrible habit of overeating just because I made a few bad choices. Like if I ate a donut for breakfast, then all day long I would eat terribly instead of just letting the one mistake go and moving forward. Someone once asked me, "if you get a flat tire, do you puncture the other three tires?" And it made sense to me. Now, when ever I scarf down a candybar or something else thats not in my healthy eating realm, I just let it go and move on. I was sabotaging myself so now whenever I make a mistake and think about bingeing, I say that sentence to myself a few times and go for a walk!

    I used to do this too. Hell, I think I still do it. After I've had pizza for lunch, for some reason, it's really hard not to say, ok, I screwed up today, may as well have ice cream, too. That's obviously wrong. What I should say is, hey, I'll have a light dinner and go for a run.

    As in, every meal is an opportunity to make a good decision. Not just every day.
