a lot of people are all or nothing people . they are either perfect or horrible and nothing in between. unfortunately for them life is rarely clear cut. i heard the following analogy in regards to weight loss, but it can really be applied to everything in life.
here goes...
lets say you have a carton full of eggs and by the time you get home from the store you realize that you have broken one of the eggs. would you just continue breaking the rest of the eggs because after all one egg is broken and you no longer have a full carton of intact eggs? i will answer this one. of course you would not continue to break the rest of the eggs. you would just have to make the most of the remaining eleven eggs until you went to the store again and bought another dozen eggs.
just because a person might break their diet one day does not mean they should throw in the towel. sometimes people fail but this does not eradicate the rest of ones victories. try to look at the big picture. just because things aren't perfect does not mean the goals aren't worth striving for even if they may take long to achieve.
never underestimate the power of perseverance.
