in Python, I have a code that writes user input to a text file each time it has completed running...I run the program again and it retrieves the text file information from the previous run. The problem is I don't know how I would get the program to stop asking the questions below if the user has already said yes once since I have to run the code anew each time. If they say yes, they get 100 points but I never want it to ask them that particular question again if they have said yes a previous time the code was ran if they are an existing user. I have no idea how to get around this or fix it. Otherwise, they can just keep getting points added each time for a goal they already passed.

EDITED: okay here is the entire function.. I bolded the original part. the variable a is assigned 100 for the number of points for a 'yes' input from user. bg stands for bench press goal. bsg stands for back squat goal. mpg stands for military press goal and dlg stands for dead lift goal. Hope this helps
