So what you ate a snickers bar...
What's the drama?
Throw the wrapper away and move on - don't turn it into a 3 day bender...
Just keep going forward

Seriously, we all break sometimes. JUST keep in mind that you have a goal, and if you want this with all of your heart maybe a cheap calorie snicker bar isn't worth it. I personally can't live without ice cream, but I've found a way to have my sugar fix without the guilt.
Next time think about how much longer you're gonna have to run because you ate that. Do you really really really want that? If you do,down a huge glass of water, if you still do clean a room..find a way to occupy yourself. If you can't stand it...eat half...When i'm at school and those devilish vending machines are calling my name, I think about how many more push ups, knee-highs, and butt kicks i'm going to have to do. I think about the stomach ache it's going to give me, the guilt, the cheap carbs that will make me crave another.Then, I look at my rice cake put a tablespoon of natural peanut butter on it and pretend it's a Reese's cup...it works for me.

It's good to be aware that this might be a problem for you, but past patterns don't have to be future ones.
It sounds like you're talking about something that happened a few hours ago, and that is not influencing you right at the moment, except in that you feel guilty. So probably you can do what mal suggested. Move on.
Is it possible that in future, you might help save yourself from worrying about something like this by making sure that you're not in a situation where you're quite hungry, and facing down a Snickers at the same time?
If you're in the moment facing the situation where you are feeling very tempted to keep going with the sugar, shifting yourself physically to a new location away from it, and getting very physically active will help. Engrossing physical exercise is a great alternative. Some other activity that you find engrossing and which keeps your hands busy, is another good move.

I pretend i'm allergic to carbonated beverages so that I don't down a coke. I convinced everyone that i'm allergic, so if we eat out no one will let me snag a delicious fountain drink.

I had posted something about a month ago about the choices we make in our attempt to lose weight.
Yesterday, I ate a Snickers bar myself - and at first, felt a little guilty about it..but remembered that post. I CHOSE to eat the Snickers bar - just like I CHOOSE to live a healthier lifestyle and make changes.
We're human, we're going to crave chocolate. I am a junk food junkie! But before I reach for the entire package of Oreos - I think about it first instead of giving into the initial temptation. You have to think about your choices.
It was one Snickers bar...its not going to make you gain 10 lbs.
If you are addicted to sugar - try finding a healthy alternative to satisfy your sweet tooth. Quaker Minis drizzled with chocolate are great...and they're only 90 calories a bag...the chocolate takes away the sweet craving.
Just because you decided to eat a Snickers, doesn't mean all of your efforts are defeated...today is a new day - decide to make healthier choices, and if you slip up again, its ok...don't beat yourself up!

we all give into cravings, just dont let it ruin your whole program, count it as a slip not a fall!
Yesterday I ate a McDonalds for lunch and felt terrible about it for about an hour. But then I went on the treadmill for half hour and I felt much better, then for dinner last night I just ate a salad. I try to even things out if I eat something I feel like I shouldn't have.

I make the mistake of letting that ruin my entire weight loss goal. One time I was going through a week eating perfectly and I even lost a couple pounds, then I ate a king size Reeses pack and I gave up everything so I stopped dieting. Very very stupid decision on my part! It's hard at first but I've learnt not to completly give up if I slip like that!
