Slipped Up?

Don't freak out. Everyone slips up sometimes. The key is to realize what you're doing and stop yourself before you do further damage. Think of healthy eating as a game that's always on — if you draw a foul or get sidelined for a minute, your job is to get right back in the game as soon as you can. If you overdo it at one meal, don't just throw in the towel for the rest of the day (or the rest of the week). And don't beat yourself up, either — instead, learn from the experience and move on. Each mistake is an opportunity to add another strategy to your playbook so you get it right the next time.
