being completely honest with yourself...

BUT~~~~ its ok that you did fudge(no pun intended) or treat yourself to a bite of something...but be honest with yourself about it...move on and continue to strive to do better...and just try not to make a habit of it :) (written by a peanut butter addict who WASNT honest..o yeah..and went from cheat meals to cheat days...this is my confession) -------------- There is no such thing as a *set point*. Im only set on getting past this point :)
