cheating
I don't like the term cheating when refering to eating something not
LC or any other diet in general. To cheat is to take an unfair advantage to aid in your benefit. Eating something that's high in carbs does not aid in your benefit, it simply holds you back. I would prefer any relative term to "mistake". "Slip-up". "Boo Boo". "Oopsie". Whatever. Just my opinion, Corinna 261/244/130ish since 10/27/03 december goal 245/240 |

I don't prefer terms such as those since they seem silly, even though I agree that "cheating" is not precise either. IMO, one simply goes "off plan" or "off WOE" by choice, either planned or unplanned. |

I
would prefer any relative term to "mistake". "Slip-up". "Boo Boo". "Oopsie". Whatever. Just my opinion, Corinna I would agree to a certain point, but for me when I do eat something not low carb, it's not always a mistake, I have the knowledge before hand of the cause and effect of my indulgence, so, *for me* mistake really doesn't work well. And slip-up would indicate to me it was an accident ... well, I have never fell into a vat of carbs by accident so ... As for the others ... I'm really not into baby talk. but again that's just me. Everyone has to do what works for them. I usually call it an indulgence. Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing you in any way. If it works for you DO IT I find the words we use for eating/dieting interesting. ~Kat "I think I would like to call myself 'the girl who wanted to be God'.

Big time. Know what? Wasn't that good. I had expected a near orgasmic experience. It was okay, nothing to write home about.

It ****es me off if I eat off woe and don't have a "near orgasmic experience." Hence, I try my best to make sure that I plan my times off woe well. |

I prefer the term "eating off plan". I never PLAN to do it, it just
happens. And when it does...I dont beat myself up about it, I'm in it for the long haul. ~*~Pie~*~ "york" wrote in message om...
