Debbie, I think that’s a good idea, for so many reasons. My mother-in-law loved chocolate and stressed over it her whole life. Then she died much too soon, and I always wish she had eaten the chocolate. Too much deprivation is not consistent with adequate life quality.
I agree with that Christine. Thats so sad!!! I wish she would have had the chocolate too. See, we can be healthy and still enjoy the special moments in our lives as long as we have control over ourselves. We are eating low carb so we can enjoy our lives in a healthy way. I think its better to take just the very special holidays and allow ourselves to enjoy it so you dont stress about it. The day after, its right back down to business. Too many people are saying that they slipped and while they were slipping they figured they would eat this and that… No. That isnt how it works. If someone gets weak and eats something they shouldnt have, ok. But stop afterwards. Dont keep setting new start dates for days later. Then your just making excuses. We all slip and as long as your serious about what your doing you will reach your goal.
