My mom brought over cinnamon rolls. The good ones with globs of royal icing dripping over the sides, pools of white sugary goodness glistening in the middle. And, I've decided to be honest about it. I ate it. [...] Afterward the remorse hit me full on.

Don't beat yourself up about it, Maggie. It happens to everyone. Yesterday I ate 2 brownies. :P But I find that I make poor choices less and less, and you will too. It just takes time.
I have a calender in my room that I record my weight on every Saturday. When I make a poor choice, I write it down on the calendar so I can see it every day. Not to dwell in my mistakes, but to to put things into better perspective. I see a lot more clear dates than marked dates, which means that I've had many more good days than bad days. Sometimes I think "Wouldn't it be awesome if I could go a whole month without a single poor choice marked down?". It's a good motivator.
