Confess and forgive yourself -- leave diet slip-ups behind

In one day I once ate an entire box of those cheap cherry cordial chocolates they have in all the drugstores around this time of year...for some reason I just couldn't resist, and I felt bad about it for days! Truth is we all mess up sometimes on our diets, whether it's an intentional "cheat day" or a binge that snuck up on us from behind. And of course, this time of year is one of the worst, with all the homemade and store-bought goodies tempting us from every direction. At work, at home -- it seems impossible to resist it all.

Well I'm not one to resist it all, that's for sure! I try to pick and choose when to indulge, and sometimes I do better than other times. For those "other times" when guilt sets in, iVillage.com has created a place to confess your dieting slip-ups, and then leave them behind. Find comfort and comraderie reading through the other dieting confessions, and then add yours to the list and move on -- guilt free!
