AIBU - to not ruin my healthy eating

I've been healthy eating for about a month and lost a few pounds. Yesterday I went out for lunch and had a huge curry with naan bread and a poppadom followed by a huge chocolate sundae covered in whipped cream, brownies and a flake.

I knew I was going to fail, I couldn't resist. I felt awful like I'd ruined the good work I'd done for the past work. So much so that when I got home I went and made myself sick as much of it up as I could.

It's not something I do. But AIBU to think a one of - say once a month after a lapse of willpower is okay? I felt like I'd got myself back on track afterwards.

No, it's unhealthy to think one curry can ruin your healthy eating. It's a long term thing. One off of something doesn't make a big difference.
If you think you had too much crap the day before, just have some healthy stuff next day.
We have healthy eating habit. But we do occasionally have some takeaway or burgers from McDonalds.

Vomiting deliberately after meals is bulimia. You need to see your GP.

Well done for the weight loss. I think that many diets can become boring and that's why dieters sometimes go for the excitement of something forbidden. Or could it be a fear of actually succeeding at getting to the perfect weight? What if you do and life still isn't wonderful?

Whichever way you look at it don't beat yourself up about one slip. Just use it as a springboard for future success. Perhaps it's your body's way of telling you that you need a bit more variety within the strictures of the healthy eating regime. Best of luck.
