I think that with your positive attitude, and the way you rebounded from it one bad day is not a bad thing at all... Like you said, no point to feeling bad about the cookies... it's done with... and since your moving on with such a great attitude you are already prevailing! 

Amen Sister.....Girl you know I went through the same thing recently. Did it then got over it and haven't done it again since. Some days are harder than others, remember you just have to get through today, thats all. Dieting can and does make most people cranky, its a fact. You CAN have some of those things that the rest of your family is eating, the key is to eat them in moderation (occassionally) so you are not depriving yourself. It's better to have a cookie today when you crave it than eat 5 tomorrow because the craving is so much worse. We will get through this together. : ) 

Use yesterday to help you stay motivated today. Keep those feelings close so that you can change how you feel. You can do this.  

One thing I think you need to try and change (and its the hardest thing to change) is how you think. You said that everyone in your house was eating and drinking anything they wanted. But what are they getting from it?? Food and drink is to help your body stay alive, not as a point of happiness. And trust me, no treat tastes as sweet as being thin and healthy!! You can do it, you just have to re-program your way of thinking... which isn't easy, I know, but it must be done to win this battle!!!  

Cookies happen! It's what you do afterward that counts. You can either keep eating cookies, or get back on track! I have confidence that you're already back on track, and the cookies are a distant memory. :) 

Also, I don't know what your situation is but, here at my house, I buy the groceries. So guess what? Everyone here is eating healthy. My hubby still has his diet coke and tea, but I can have those things if I want them, in moderation, but I prefer water now that it is in my mind that water is healthy for me and make my skin look hydrated and good, and it goes in and out without the weight gain. Sure I may retain in now and again, but it will come out! I treat myself witha margarita, but I include it in my diet. I am not losing weight with salad and cottage cheese. I am eating pretty good. You have to have a certain number of calories a day so why not eat those with good healthy food. Discover fish (Tilapia) and Grilled Chicken. It can be cooked and marinated so many different way where it isn't like great, chicken again tonight. Mix it up a bit. I may make something with ground turkey one night, chicken the next, and fish the next. Then pork chops. It is a lot about the way we cook. Teach your family that healthy can be delicious. My huby likes mac and cheese, so I make a healthy main dish, his carb/fat high side dish then i cook some frozen veggies for myself. It isn't a lot of extra work and I don't feel I am depriving anyone. Plus they are eating healthier also. It is benefiting them also. If they complain, send them my way, lol, I will straighten them out with my "please support us to get healthy, don't hinder our progress" talk. We got your back girl!
