Oh I like that quote of the day Kathy.  That's something that is so hard for me to remember at times.  I mess up once and I just want to give in and say screw it.  Instead I have to pick myself off, dust myself off, say "ok, you screwed up, now get back on track this battle with weight is not over and you have not lost. you will win!!!"
