highs and lows

I think most of us have the very occasional treat - for example over Christmas. Then we get straight back on the diet checking our levels regularly. I must admit though that I wouldn't eat a takeaway! Perhaps one chocolate biscuit (you get as much pleasure from one as you get from two). I only stray moderately, and not very often

I think the main thing is to make sure that what you are eating is actually a treat and that it is an occasional one. Christmas is a good time to relax the diet because it only happens once a year. If you are not careful those occasional treats can sneak up and bite you on the bum when they become weekly or daily :shock: :lol: Lots of people on here have commented how they have had something they used to eat as a treat and actually not enjoyed it all that much. Also Daisy makes a very good point about 1 chocolate biscuit being as good as 2. It's just an attitude of mind you have to get used to. Keep practising good habits and it does get easier...honest!
