It's important to realize that this is an irrational thought. Health and weight loss is a journey that is not made or broken in a single choice. It's choices bult upon choices upon choices.
All actions, even mistakes are learning opportunities. So you didn't have a useless day, you learned something about yourself, and about the lack of satisfaction indulging in this craving provided.
If you give in to "I blew it," thinking often the next step is discouragement which can set you up to give up, or to other irrational thoughts such as "since I messed up, I might as well eat whatever I want and start fresh tomorrow, or Monday, or next month....."
Learning, even from less than perfect choices (I think mistake is really too harsh a word in some cases), means you're moving forewards, not backwards.
