I think youre my new hero. To be able to get a case of the crazies
and limit it to a peach. Last time I went off I didn't stop till I

I'm having a *planned* carb cheat tonight
as a planned once a week cheat is the best way for
me to stick with Atkins.

My cheat? A *small* (as small as I could find) baked
sweet potato slathered in butter, sour cream
and bacon bits. :-)

i am not on atkins, but when i am on a diet, i also allow myself to
cheat once in a while. i usually plan it too. i have found that this
is the best way to stay on a diet, and i have gotton th best results
when i do this. my mother is a doctor and also runs a weight loss
clinic, she explained to me that it is good to do this because it is
inevitable that you wil skrew up once in a while on a diet, so the
best thing to do is screw up in a controlled manner, and get over it.
for long term success, it's really important to learn that going off
track won't ruin everything. if you allow yourself to skrew up, ou
won't go overboard when you do (like eating several instead of just
one). also, planning on eatng something off the diet helps you to not
feel guilty when you eat it. cuz, if your gonna feel guilty, what's
the point? one more piece of advice: try to allow yourself a
reasonable quantity of the desired food, instead of thinking that if
your going to do something "bad" it doesn't matter how bad - it does.
