    I have a friend who blogs about her weight loss. Since 2009, she's allowed herself ONE cheat meal per month. That's it. She started at 263 and now weighs 145ish. Knowing that she could have this meal once a month made her able to be strict with herself for the other days.
    Maybe you could plan for a meal like that for yourself too if you need a release valve.

    This is actually a very common technique for people training. The logic is that you can't do much damage in a single day (as long as it's no more often than a bi-weekly event), but you can convince your body that it isn't in the middle of a famine and fend off starvation mode :smile:

    OOPS IS RIGHT, AND WE'VE ALL DONE IT. IT'S BOUND TO HAPPEN. YOU'VE BEEN GOOD FOR 6 WKS, CUT YOURSELF SOME SLACK AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. GOOD FOR YOU FOR 6 WKS, AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ! :flowerforyou:

    You are human don't beat yourself up.

    I have some things that I consider desert and sweet but not diet busters. I like the South Beach diet where they suggest Ricotta Cheese mixed with tsp of vanilla and splenda and then you can add stuff to it like blueberries or some coco powder or a tablespoon of mini chocolate chips or my favorite is a tablespoon of natural peanut butter. It's low sugar and tasty. Some times I'll add a dollop of sugar free whipped cream. I can't keep treats like mini candy bars around because I know how I am. One isn't enough and I won't stop. The no sugar added fudge pops are good too.

    Tomorrow is a new day, one day at a time.

    Binging is what I have known best for 30 odd years. Don't let it get to you if you have not done that since you started in January. Count yourself as treated and tomorrow get up and get back to it. We all have days that are not so good, but they pass and we can not dwell on them to do so is to give up on yourself and You are worth not giving up!! Repeat this I can do this and I will move on!
    Keep Going . God Bless
