AONT (All Or Nothing Thinking) is bad. Don't do it!

I've fallen into that trap before and it is a very destructive on. What's past is past--forget about it and pick up where you left off. One meal or one bad day won't derail you. Averages are what we're interested in since this is a long term thing.

My advice is to make sure you log every single calorie--good, bad or ugly--if you eat a dozen donuts (and I HAVE, in the past) log 'em. If you drink a gallon and a half of beer (done that too), log it. That way you can see how small an impact one slip-up makes on your average.

Regards,
Michael
