    nothing is done or undone in one snack, one meal, one binge, one day, one week or even one month. Weight loss is a comilation of all of your efforts over a period of time. You haven't ruined anything, just refocus and carry on, leaving the guilt behind as it'll only weigh you down.

    I like to think about it this way:

    We aren't defined by the days when we screw up - because EVERYONE does that.

    We are defined by what we do the next day.

    Had the worst week ever. They laid off people at my job and now this evening I had a fender bender. I went and had Buffalo Wild Wings and didn't pay attention to calories at all. I feel bad for blowing the hard work today and could really use some motivation to keep at the weight loss goal.

    One day will never ruin an entire diet/lifestyle change. We are allowed to struggle and we are allowed to treat ourselves. Just get back at it the next day. Let the guilt go and move on :)

    The last time I had a big "cave-in" meal, I tried to put it in perspective - out of the past X meals, I had one bad one. My next meal was back to what it should be. Don't beat yourself up about it. You didn't totally ruin your diet - you had one really slammin' meal and now you're back on track. :smile:

    Just keep going. Every day is a new day and one day in context of 30 days isn't the end. There are going to be holidays, weddings, birthdays, life events. You'll have days where counting calories just isn't the most important thing for the day. Get back on it and you'll be fine.

    So, you "ruined" your diet for one day. That is only a big deal if you let it spiral into ruining every day. It's completely unrealistic to think that you can through life never having a day where you eat too much. What's done is done. Move on.

    So, do better today. It's only "ruined" if you give up.
