    Well, if it's any consolation, it happens to a lot of us. In the past, behavior like that was always my downfall. I'd have one slip-up, even a minor one like the one you described, and then I'd be filled with self-loathing. I would allow the slip-up to sabotage all my hard work from the days/weeks/months prior. Now I'm trying to roll with it. Maybe it's a good thing to occasionally indulge a craving. It's a good thing to not be perfect all the time. Maybe it's OK, because the sense of deprivation doesn't build up to such a degree that you crash and burn and give up forever. Anyway, that's the internal dialogue I'm working on these days as I transition from yo-yo dieting to attempting to live a healthy lifestyle. Don't beat yourself up! :-)

    We all fall off the wagon... just tuck an' roll, then jump back on!

    Not unlike the rest of us - You are human. Stock up on yummy, healthful treats that you CAN have. Sometimes when we restrict ourselves too much, it gets the best of us. Tomorrow is another day!

    Your start weight & goal weight is the same as mine, and I get those cravings too. Just make sure to keep like a Fiber (One) Bar
    for when you get those cravings, for me it's better than eating a candy bar. The chocolate one's have less calories than the peaunut butter ones. We can do this, you are not alone!!
