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,

What if you eat "off plan" on purpose? Is that a Slip-up, BooBoo, Oopsie,
or whatever? 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 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.

Greetz,

*grin :-D*


Wouldn't you know the week I started LC I saw Nestle's Toll House
candy bars. Hunks of Toll House cookie dough with caramel and
chocolate chips covered in chocolate. I wanted one of those *so* bad.
But for the last three weeks I did not yield. Until yesterday. I had
an oopsie. Big time. Know what? Wasn't that good. I had expected a
near orgasmic experience. It was okay, nothing to write home about.
Guess my body and taste buds are changing.

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.
