I say if you come this far without cheating why do it now. Cheating will have different affects on different people. I was in my 2nd week of induction when I decided to have a sliver of my son's b-day cake just to make him happy... well that was a big mistake b/c the cake led to pizza and bread sticks and on and on. For me the cake made me crave carbs like crazy. I gained 4 pounds of the 9 that I lost and it wasn't worth it to me at all. I went back on track and have been doing great with no cravings and no temptations. Good Luck
