Personally, I don't care if a person cheats - errr, I mean, splurges - their way to goal in a matter of days, eating caramel sauce and nachos at every opportunity. The issue for me is broader, in that some tend to ask board permission to deviate (as if we can absolve each other), advise others to follow their lead ("Well I eat popcorn all the time and it doesn't affect my weightloss, honest!"), or martyr themselves when they have less-than-stellar results ("Must I have give up my beloved candied apples when I've already sacrificed soooOOOOoooOo much?!"). To paraphrase a biblical text, 'Each must carry their own load.' It'd be cool to see more people making food choices without making excuses or getting caught up in semantics, is all. This may not have anything to do with your original thoughts Bexicon, but I wanted to explain my rationale since I'm in the minority today.
Just one fat girl's opinion, of course. May we all eat, drink and make merry this fine weekend.
