Thank you LaMa, for reminding me of this wonderful quote. Specifically " be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here." Never forget that 
"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love – for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you from misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.”

You meant to just grab a cup of coffee on your way to work this morning, but that scone/muffin/croissant.... looked so good. When you give into a craving, you might be tempted to toss the entire day's eating plan out the window, but don't throw in the towel just yet. You have plenty of opportunities to get back on track—it's not too late to make today a success.
