I like this idea. I think that if we deprive ourselves completely from everything we enjoy that we are just setting ourselves up for failure. It's not like it's a free-for-all day. :) It has to be 350 or fewer calories and counted in our daily limit. What's the harm? 

By the way, GREAT JOB on your weight loss so far. You must enjoy looking at your weight graph. :) 

That You for your comments on the idea and weight graph chart. Your chart is looking pretty amazing too 

The door to trouble?I think it's all witin your state of mind.. I usually did 'my treat' once a week and within limits :) when I had lost 100 lbs previously and haven't so-much this time!!I think I may have to start 'treating myself' this time around :) A Mickey D's icecream cone (150 CAL) every Wed. DID IT for me! Mickey D's--here I come! :) 

How did your day go? I hope you were able to accomplish your goals. I think it is better to plan your "treats" and binge on them later due to depriving yourself.  

My day was good I'm not much of a binger I graze on smaller meals more times a day  

It's an interesting idea. I think it trouble depends on the person and their particular place along the path to health. Good luck with it. 

Hi Coach. I think the challenges are good incentive and people will join. I find I need to build my treats as I go along, and try to find recipes that "convert" into healthier choices. I think this site needs people like you who are successful, and willing to help others by making suggestions. Great work! 

I don't know about that idea coach. I already had EVERYTHING yesterday and the day before, lol. Just kidding, (the 350 calories seems a bit low though). Anyway, good luck on your fast. 

thank you it's gone very well!
