Unfortunately those little bites here and there do add up. The "one little bite will not hurt me" theory is what got me to my unhappy weight. I would say I do not cheat, but everyone has a different definition of what "cheating" is. My bad habits are overindulging on low carb choc and drinking rum and diet cokes. I will not consider taking even one bite of ice cream, bread whatever..it would just make me want more.
