Would you tell them they are not starting over, that those pounds they had lost are still gone? That they can just continue with their current weight and it'll be just as if they hadn't overeaten? That they can still wear their skinny outfits?

Well not exactly because if you had 1 day of desserts, and then went back to your diet you would not have gained the 30lbs back.....but if you were to continue abusing you diet then that would lead to relapse and you would be 30 lbs overweight again or a drunk again. Right?
