This weekend is my birthday, and we decided a couple months ago that our birthdays should be "exceptions" to our diet, so I am already fantasizing about drinking diet soda. I haven't decided what other "cheats" I'll be partaking of--perhaps blue cheese dressing on a salad, or maybe some real chocolate, or maybe I'll treat myself to a lunch in a restaurant and have some forbidden item containing heaven-only-knows what.
Of course, the problem is that it does actually have to be in moderation even if it is my birthday, since most processed foods actually make us sick now, and we do have people coming over that night to celebrate, and I would seriously hate to miss it over some chips that aren't good for me anyway.
A friend pointed out that my idea of a once-a-year "cheat" day (soda, chocolate, maybe lunch in a restaurant) would be a "normal" day for most people. I hadn't thought about that.
Whoo hoo! I get to be NORMAL for a day!!!!!!
