Default M&m's

I saved 6 points for a pack of M&M's that I felt that I couldn't live without while I was in the grocery store earlier. Now they're just laying on my night stand. Technically I can eat them since I "budgeted" for them, but you know it just seems wrong to me!!
I know eventually in life I will want to eat sweets ocassionally and this is a lifestyle not a diet, but I just cant get out of my head that I'm not supposed to eat M&M's.

I do that too. I'll budget for something "evil" and then I don't want to eat it because I feel horrible about eating it.

Don't deprive yourself! I think planned indulgences are the very best bc you get a treat but can still feel good about the choice you made.

Its why I like to keep skinny cow or weight watchers frozen treats in the house. They are around 3 points (I'm on flex, not PP, but are similar in points in PP) and are really tasty. They don't have that horrid fake ice cream aftertaste. They make me feel like I'm getting a treat, but don't blow my day.

I feel this way sometimes too! I'll budget for an "evil" bag of m&m's or chocolate bar and before I can enjoy it, I feel guilty because I still think those are off limits. I try to remember that little treats like this are okay as long as I plan for them. If I still feel guilty afterwards, I can do an extra workout to make me feel better.

So I say, enjoy those m&ms!

I'm not on WW, but I sometimes budget my carbs for a late night snack size Hershey's Special Dark or dark chocolate Mint 3 Musketeers. 60 calories and less than 9 carbs. They recently downsized the $1 packages so that you only get 6 instead of 8. So, even if you lost all control and couldn't stop at one; the whole package is about the same calories as one candy bar, just divided into six individual bite sized indulgences.
