Sue, I know what you are feeling because I tend to approach this in the same way. But look how differently you handled it -- it did not lead to a six month binge. And one pound is one pound -- it will be gone in a flash and you will move on.

Recognizing the way you felt around the almonds has to make you stronger to understand yourself more. Next time, you may even plan to eat something out of your normal plan, and know that you can go right back onto plan. To me, these are signs of being able to handle real life situations with grace and success. I too am not there yet, though.
