I've been bad

If I had a freaking dollar everytime someone describes their diet.... I'd be retired by now. Pony up people.
I actually hate that description and actually believe that it holds you back in achieving your weightloss goals. One's innate goodness is not tied to the food you have chosen to eat.

When coaching clients on weightloss I am tough on them when they use this phrase. More often than not, saying "I've been bad" leads to less than fantastic feelings.
And when they "feel" bad, they often eat to satiate those negative emotions.

So look at proper eating as a program: either you are following the program or not. It has absolutely nothing to do with you as a person.

Now if you really want to own it and be holyistic then you might say the following when you have eaten unhealthy foods: "Yeah I chose to put unhealthy garbage food in my body at lunch." or

"I'm choosing this cupcake to satiate my emotional distress of gaining five pounds."

Talk about changing your paradigm. Owning your choices of the food you eat will actually help you to choose better.

So, as you are choosing your proteins, greens, complex (healthy) carbs, and healthy fats remember that you are fueling your body for maximum effectiveness for the day.

Remember to always have a protein and carb together. Pork out on greens, and try to load your carbs early on in the day.

Remember that to live holyisitc is to be aware of the words you use to describe your habits and to be intentional about what you do and eat.

Until then, there is no bad diet, just bad food choices!
