“I ate 800 calories of crisps… my diet’s ruined.”
No.
It’s not.
Even after that binge, you’re probably still in a calorie deficit.
Here’s the thing — one moment of overeating doesn’t erase days (or weeks!) of progress.
What actually sets you back is the guilt that follows.
That “I’ve ruined everything” mindset makes you throw in the towel, skip your next workout, and spiral into eating more because “what’s the point?”.
👉 This is the biggest reason people fail at weight loss.
Not because they overeat — but because they believe they’ve failed.
But the truth?
Progress isn’t lost; it’s just paused.
And you can hit play again at your very next meal. 🎯
💡 Remember: Weight loss isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being consistent most of the time.
One slip-up won’t make you gain fat.
But letting guilt drive your choices might.
So next time this happens — pause, breathe, and move on.
You’re still winning. “
