What if I stumble?

Mamacita, this one's for you...

Don't feel too discouraged about a little weekend cheating. We went to the Cheesecake Factory on Sunday and I had my favorite pasta....I gained 1.8 lbs by Monday morning! However, I balanced it out by having an extra low point day yesterday and working out. By this morning, I had already lost 1.8 lbs! So it's Tuesday morning, and although I haven't lost any weight this week I don't feel deprived. In my opinion, it's best to allow yourself ONLY ONE cheat day (or meal) per week if you really want to lose weight. So your idea of saving your flex points for the weekend is great! I remember when I went to the Weight Watchers meetings they actually encouraged us to "take a cheat day" and to USE our flex points. Otherwise, if you feel deprived, it may lead to binge eating where you say the heck with it and eat everything in sight. Sometimes if I beat myself up about cheating, I get into the "all or nothing" mentality (like theat article you posted by Jillian) and start thinking "I can't do this"....which can lead to throwing in the towel.

So like you said, just hit the reset button and keep going!
