Don't Fall If You Slip
The poet Alexander Pope said it best: "To err is human, to forgive divine." Everyone on this diet is human, and everyone is going to cheat. If it's not a slice of cake at an office birthday party, then it's going to be potato chips during the big game, or those irresistible doughnuts. Cheating occurs especially around snack time, when you're going to be craving your favorite comfort foods. Remember the second part of the quotation and forgive yourself for your transgression — don't destroy a day of good eating because of a silly mistake. Just because you ate a candy bar after lunch doesn't mean you should skip having a healthy dinner! You're up to the challenge of staying on course, even after a little misdirection.

Extra Credit
Remember that test you bombed back in history class? Okay, so you bombed it — you can't change the past, but you can try to make up for it. The same way you asked your teacher for extra credit, ask yourself how you can make up for a minor setback. Ate something you shouldn't have? Try a brisk walk around the neighborhood. Missed an exercise? Push yourself a little harder at your next workout. No mistake is final, and you can still get that A!
