Progress not perfection

Take each day as it comes and aim for progress not perfection, it takes time to 'unlearn' bad habits and learn good ones. Don't feel guilty from any slip ups, think about what set this off and work around it. Life is for living and too short for wasting it feeling guilty or having regrets!

MORE INFORMATION:
Every day you do well is a day closer to your goal, but every day you feel guilty for a negative episode is a day you'll never get back.
You can't change the past but can learn from it

Forget the Past!

To get back on track, just stop beating yourself up on how far off track you got. Start with one step in the right direction, like a healthy meal or 10 minutes of exercise and build on from there. Think of each day as a brand new day and keep going! Strive for progress not perfection! And be kind to yourself!
