Japanese steak house and cold stone…yummy!! Two of my favorite things. You are allowed to splurge..but you also did a great job by not splurging and splitting things with the hubby and todder…

Great post Roni! Instead of thinking “I can’t have this..” I think “I can most certainly have this, but I just choose not to right now.” It helps me take my power back.

I so agree. I was afraid this week to try non-deprivation mode, but I ended up losing 5.5 pounds even with some treats! Love eating family meals. The girls and I eat sit down dinners together every night and my husband is there when he can be. We have a couple nights a week where the whole family eats together. We all miss it when we aren't together chatting and sharing dinner, even if it's just something simple. Check out Alexias last blog post..Down 5.5 pounds: Biggest Loser Blog Edition

This really is a good quote. Many people say that eating one meal together each day will also help a family….children will do better too.

Right now, I love when my husband and I go on really long walks. Sometimes we can be home for hours and not really talk to one another. But on our walks/hikes we chat the whole time. And we talk about SO much.

So true! And doesn’t ice cream taste soooo good when you haven’t had it in a long time? I had some a few weeks ago, before that it had been at least two months!

so true so true! you gotta incorporate/accept the typical "off plan" things into your plan in order to succeed b/c those "off plan" things are bound to happen. incorporating/accepting them and enjoying them won't make those times set you off on a roller coaster!

I love that post Roni! I never thought I could feel that way until recently. Before, I didn’t trust that I could go out every blue moon and eat a reasonable portion of something restauranty without gaining weight or falling off the wagon. I was so intense before, thinking I had to watch every move or else I’d fail. Now that I reached my goal weight and it’s sticking, I am learning that enjoying a restaurant meal here and there (a reasonable portion) is fine. It actually has made no difference! I am really learning the balance and how to enjoy myself when I do go out. It is such a relief to know that you don’t have to be “intensely aware” forever- just smart and balanced.
