First off, congratulations on your achievement.

Second off, don't sweat the binge. A one day binge is nothing more than a temporary annoyance. The five pounds you gained is almost all water - unless you really think you might have consumed about 20,000 calories yesterday. Don't worry about "starting over", just pick up where you left off and you will come back down pretty quickly - no more than a few days most likely.

The thing to avoid is having one "bad" day lead you into a bad week. Youi might also see if you can figure out what you might have done differently to stay mostly LC while still having a good time. But, and I think this is important, do not let LC run your life to the point where you don't have a life. Compromise and moderation are the keys. When you go someplace first see what is there that you can and should eat. Focus on those. Next see what is there that it is so-so to eat. Enjoy those next. Have plenty of what you can have. Then you probably won't have room for much of what you shouldn't have.

If you are like me, you are used to seeing a picnic or party as an opportunity to have lots of different tasty foods and, on the side, chat with a few friends or long lost family. This creates the mindset that you HAVE to eat a lot and a lot of different things and a lot of bad things in order to have fun. You don't. You just have to change your mindset. The food is NOT the party - the friends and family are. Enjoy THEM instead.

Try it - it really works. And always remember - nothing tastes as good as thin feels.

Keep the Faith!
