Do you ever??

That's exactly what i said to myself last night "already at those Reduced fat Ritz (10 btw) I might well eat these SF Reese's cups too" It does not help that my least favorite Aunt came into town yesterday too :-/ I just need to put on my big girl panties and deal with it. Luckily those big girl panties are alot smaller than they used to be.

Yes, I do. I think is normal, we are not perfect. One day of not logging/counting anything won't kill you. The key here is "one day", if you let it become two, three days then we have a problem. It can also become half a day, and the make better choices for the rest of the day. Remember, one day at the time if the way to go. Beatriz

Yes, I have days when I feel like that but I keep myself in check by doing like Melissa and pre-planning the grazing. Those are usually the days when you see by my food logs here that I ate 3 or more cups of a fruit or multiple servings of my marinated cucumbers. To me it is a bad trade-off---I am substituting good food choices for conscious, bad behaviour models. It can't become a permanent part of my life and I keep telling myself that I can do it for the summer while fruit is in season but it is going to come to a screeching halt in the fall because the only plentiful fruit then will be apples which I can't do raw and won't do cooked because of needing to add all the extra sweetener. I second the water loading idea, it really works for me too but I have to remind myself to do it. I usually do it at work...for some reason I never remember it at home. Maybe I need to make myself a few signs and place them here and there. Visual cues may be corny but they really work for some people. Molly
