If ya fall off...just get back on the horse and keep riding...My Doc has told me if I "cheat" the possibility of no losing for a few days, or causing a stall...thankfully that hasn't happened yet. The thought however, has kept me from allowing myself to "fall off the horse" to often. What I have done in the past is when the cravings are getting really bad (I think the cravings thing has more to do with boredom with the allowed food than with wanting the other food) or if my will power and I are at odds more so than normal, I plan a cheat day. It is usually the day after an appointment and I try not to go too crazy, but on that day if I want a cheeseburger or a slice of pizza I eat one. When this happens I gain 1 - 2 lbs and takes a day or two to get on track. I figure a measured slip is better than an unintentional one.

the weird one was the last one (about a month ago)...I know a place that makes an amazing fish sandwich (the best part is the bread they use) and decided to have chicken and waffles for dinner....woke up the next morning and had lost a pound...I was VERY happy and was better able to withstand the bombardment of the world of food around me...
