Nice work! Keep at it, logging your food definitely helps. I read something the other day that said, people who record everything they eat lose twice as much as people who don't.

One bad meal wont be bad for ya if ya keep it to just that one. I had pizza on saturday and still lost 5 lbs this week :D
 
I agree w/MacDaddy...one McDonald's run won't kill ya. But yes, emotionally eating is a hard habit to break. Mine usually involves emotional margaritas followed by emotional eating. hahah
