how do you leave the scales alone?
Miss D - I think as long as you plan these things and think about them and consider it, and then eat for the right reasons it's a good thing. It shows you have control and it's probably really important to be able to eat a bit, have fun and then get back to it. IMO it's what most people who are or have been overweight need to learn - you can have treats sometimes but not all the time as a matter of course. I've been thinking a lot about all this kind of stuff since my nibbles at the weekend, and getting back on it and feeling ok about it is something I NEVER would have done before - I would have beat myself up about it and then jacked the diet in.
