Most days I manage pretty easily to keep under my calorie goal and even have a deficit from my deficit sometimes. But I'm only human so of course I slip up at times.
Yesterday I finished for the day, even closed the log, it was all going well. But then I remembered that I didn't have any lemons to put in the fizzy water I accidentally bought and now had to trick myself into drinking because I payed for it and wasn't about to throw it away.
But at the supermarket something came over me and bought a pack of 2 pieces of pastry, about 200 each. I got home so of course my fat ass started eating, but I didn't stop after one piece like I had planned, I ate both. I shamefully logged it all in. Thought that I was done, but my lizard brain wasn't done. I started eating the rice and broccoli prepped for the next day.
All that meant That I was no longer at a deficit at all, just a bit higher than my maintenance. And you know what I did? I started chopping broccoli and weighing rice, because I still needed to eat the next day and I would be damned if I let anything stop me. And it really didn't matter, I still saw change the next day and everything was fine.
You may slip up at times, but if you give up you'll still be where you started and just as miserable as when you decided that you needed that change. What's worse, a day of binging or a whole week of binging? The choice is yours.
