Treats- Do we or don't we?

i just eat what i want when i want. I try not to think about restrictions. It makes me feel bad if "i fall off the wagon"

I have a treat eveyday; Light choc mousse and an aero bubbleball. I can cos I'm not dieting and will "budget" for those calories, but I definitely need to feel like I'm not being denied anything.

If I denied myself treats I wouldn't last on MFP for long. I buy a large bar of good dark chocolate (Camino Mint, mmm) and break into the squares, each square is 22 calories. This gives me a little bit of chocolate for a small bit of calories. I also like Diva's Delightful Crisps from Costco, four are 60 calories. They are thin crips cracker/wafer things with nuts, seeds and dried fruit - crunchy and satisfying. For me the important thing is to measure out a serving, put it on a nice little plate (maybe have with a cup of tea) and put the package away. If I ate directly from the package I would eat it all at once.

I have treats, sometimes every day, sometimes I'll go for a week before having one. Just depends on whats going on. Honeslty though, treats just don't sound so good anymore. I am gluten, dairy and egg free, that takes out most chocolate bars, all cookies/cakes, and of course everything like pudding, icecream, pie....the list goes on. Even the things I can have just haven't seemed very good lately. I usually don't finish what I grab.

I do have a handful of chips, or a dairy free chocoalte bar, or a jolly rancher once in awhile. Or I'll sneak an organic lollipop from the kids stash.

As for fitting it into my day, I don't actually log my food anymore so I don't know where they fit in. I just have one if I want one. I'm still losing weight, so I"m not worried about it.
