I think there's a huge difference and "failure" is simply a matter of perspective. You may have hit a couple bumps, but you didn't fail at anything because you tried, and I assume you will try again! As for me, every day I fail at something (or many things), but every day I tell myself to try again. If I don't, then I suppose it can be viewed as a failure. And anything chocolate can't be that bad...

Please! and comment, if you can! Because to be honest, you did'nt intentionally do anything wrong. But the feeling you felt GUILT and then the thought FAILURE punctured something. This is hard for me, managaing my guilt, my "you have not gone far enough" I usually run, or confess it to someone who can help me approach life more full of being HUMAN tha being a ROBOT that detects every bump along the way....
