amen to the maintenance!! having a day with your kids and sharing some treats is what lifes about and probably you appreciate it as a true treat rather than an everyday occurance.....so when you think about it that way....its not so bad, is it??? i cheated this week when i went out for a date night to the movies...had a small popcorn at the theatre.....and it was a true treat...so i savored it and felt like i was spoiling myself....didnt beat myself up just stayed on track afterwards..and i did lose ! lucky for me!!
