[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 1596952, member: 368709"] Agree with [USER=24561]@Chook[/USER] about using the word ‘cheat’. If we’re in this for life, eating has to be enjoyable and realistic. I’ve gone off piste a couple of times and don’t see it as a big issue. My strategy has been to plan for it and stick to the plan so there is less temptation to binge. So when I went on holiday in the summer I had treated myself to business class flights. Since airline portions are small, I decided I’d eat what I wanted on both of the flights, but stick to plan for the rest of the holiday. Worked well, enjoyed a few snacks and some other treats without too much damage to blood sugars and returned 10 pounds lighter after 3 weeks away. On a more recent short break I did stray at one meal which wasn’t planned. Started out with a bunless burger, but was still hungry and ended up with onion rings and cheesecake! Tried not to beat myself up and got straight back to it. Generally I am building treats into my everyday diet so that I don’t feel tempted to stray - raspberries and cream, 90% chocolate, Oppo ice cream are regular features and so far have not interfered with either weight loss or blood sugars.
