once a week i let my self have something naughty. I followed the total well being for a while, thought it was great but too much counting for me. At the moment i am not eating ANYTHING processed, so nothing with numbers or ingredients i dont recognise as whole foods. im finding that way its easier not to cross the line in the sand. a bar of chocolate or icey poll might be within my daily allowances but it is full of numbers and 'stuff' so its not on my menu. otherwise i can talk myself into having it cause its 'allowed' and with in a few weeks ive given up my diet and got back to old habits! but im still going strong doing it this was, longest ever!
dont be too hard on your self though, you have to have some food pleasure.
