I've done this with several diets. I've blown it by mid-week, so I just eat like crazy from Wed-Sunday and then start over. Imagine where I would be if I had just faced my mistake and gotten over it and back on track. Ditto for me. I’ve done this with several diets.

This is me, I have started and quit BFL numerous times over the past 10 years, all because I did something "bad". So I would quit and start over from day 1. It is a terrible way to be, I have always called it the "all or none" thing. If I'm on track, I'm on track on all accounts, but if I mess up 1 little thing in my life, holy cow, its' the end of the world, and everything is off track (nutrition,workouts, moods, sleep, everything and then feel so ashamed and disappointed for letting myself down. It is a terrible way to live life. Now that I have recognized this and what it has done to me, I have been really working at this, and like everything else, it is a work in progress. I am trying to learn to respect myself and by doing so will respect the completion of the BFL program. Thanks for all you do Mike! YES!!!!
