If you feel that you "deserve it" you don't really believe in the LC lifestyle. I also see people say something about treating themselves by eating "normally". Why do we think of HC junk as "normal" eating? I choose to eat LC, every day. Does a vegetarian "treat themselves" and eat "normally" on Thanksgiving or Christmas? None of the ones I know do. It's a lifestyle, a way of eating for life. Anyone who thinks otherwise is doomed to eventual failure. Sorry, that's my opinion.
