That is soooo great to hear, psych girl!!! Now I'm looking forward to 2 cheat meals a week. Hopefully I'll still keep losing. Thank you for mentioning that about the metabolism. That helps explain why everytime I cheat, the next day I usually lose a pound or 2 rather than gain. I love it, but couldn't understand why. Thanks!!!

All I can tell you is that it worked for me and I had great results - I hope that it works for you, too!! It sure helped a lot with the unnecessary feelings of guilt that I had... I found that after "messing up" I lost more weight the next day, too... Our bodies are kind of funny things sometimes - I think that we need to 'trick' them... Good luck!!

ok not that I am trying to promote drinking here, BUT, you can have a totally carb free drink if you drink diet soda and clear liquors, such as vodka, gin, etc. My husband and I get together with friends on a scheduled monthly mingle and I didn't have to feel left out. I drank socially with the rest, just stuck to diet sprite and vodka. worked well, no weight gain!

Thank you very much for all the great suggestions. It really helps get your motivation back! I usually drink screwdrivers(O.J. & vodka) when I go out but this weekend I think I'm going to switch to a diet soda and vodka and see how I like it. Thanks!
