    You are trying to break old habits. That's a tough thing to do. The only thing you should worry about is not learning from your "oops." I started MFP after losing 6.5 pounds in two weeks. I cut out Diet Cole and chips and sweets. I have not had a problem with them but early this week I was so hungry I felt like I couldn't get enough to eat and I binged a little. I felt terrible physically and emotionally. I joined to have a way to track what I eat and I an ruthless about putting in everything I eat. No cheating. My daughter is joining with me and she will keep me going. She has lost about 25 and has 10 to go. Start over from whereever you struggled and move forward. It's ok.

    Okay, now you are a bit wiser. Sometimes I have to feel the pain of a mistake a few times before my feeble mind gets a clue! :bigsmile:

    Sounds like you were pressed for time based on your food choices, this may be what gets you to start planning your strategy. No war was ever won without a strategy, and make no mistake, this is a war. It will be won or lost with the mind as the body can only do what the mind tells it to.

    So pick your self up, dust yourself off and work your plan!

    One day is not a death blow. Live and learn. One bad meal is like paying too much for an item at the store. Invest wisely into yourself.

    (oops-- accidentally replied twice) hang in there! everyone makes mistakes-- the important part is that you are honest about it and that you keep trying!

    What was done, was done. Now focus on the future! The key to weight-loss and a healthy lifestyle is your attitude. Be positive! And I agree with walldancer, start now. You can be productive and plan your meals for tomorrow or you can be counterproductive and wallow in your despair. Good luck! Here's to a better tomorrow!
