That's why I framed it as an "allowance" rather than a "cheat" or a "setback." Yeah, it's semantics, but it's also not intended to try and whitewash going off-plan.

Life occassionally gets in the way as those around me do not understand I have a food limitation--not like I have a food alergy or something--- JUST pre-diabetic but who cares about that too----so I have to choose between going to Thanksgiving eating all the sugar laden foods passed around and staying home; going to famiy BBQ as BIL describes his lucious BBQ wings soaked in hot pepper sugar sauce or not; Christmas or not...... there are times I stay home and have been able to get my weight down significantly and didnt regret missing the function. However there are times when I just cant avoid the crap food and fall off the wagon. I can back on asap these days--not sure why as I could never manage more than 10-14 days at a time so it took YEARS to drop 20 pounds, but now, wow, 50% of the reboots result in getting on plan, used to be almost zilch. Just kept trying until I could string 3 days together.....like I said for some reason it is much much easier to get back on plan now.
Hope you stick around and find a new p lay group.
