I think the occasional fall from the horse has to be expected. I think I said in your other thread, you're a human being and not a machine. Being perfect every single day is an impossible dream IMHO. You do your best with the hand life dealt you. If you feel you're doing your best for the majority of your life then you've fought the good fight. :)

Hi
Why is a one off blow out such a bad thing? I would have thought that doing things right the other 364 days of the year is what's important. In fact I was planning to have an occasional blowout every now and then just to keep myself sane. Not every week but maybe a few times a year. Is this not a good idea?

Hi @Mark_1 - a great idea, just need to understand our individual boundaries and try not to stray too far into more difficult territory than we can deal with.
 
We all have days when we just can't cope with it all, I'm having one such day today but I know tomorrow is another day and I will feel better. And so will you my friend.
