I do allow myself to indulge now and then. It's to prove that the goodie didn't leave the planet. I have not deprived myself of anything. No need to feel regrets. Mainly tho, I stick to the woe that works for me and as time goes by, I have less desire to indulge in things I used to find addictive. Also, I feel it is important for those first starting to give it a real good go, a clean induction, so the body can change to the healthy way of eating. After I had been lcing for 2 months, Krispy Kreme came to our area and I had never had one of their donuts. Sure were hearing all about how great they were! So my dh and I decided to have one. Yes, it was yummy, but then a few months later we decided to have another one and it didn't do a thing for me. Now I can drive by a Krispy Kreme store and not even feel tempted. But if I was still curious about it, I think it would be a temptation everytime I saw one of them. --Gail
