I think this is the way for me too as i'm struggling. My CDC is away next week for a couple of weeks and i've all but stopped diet. I dont want to worry about it, i'm going to eat healthy (i'm finding it hard not to have homemade veg soup, fresh fruit etc) and get my self back into gear for when she returns and really really try to SS for a month which will just about get me to target. Great thread and the fact other people are agreeing with you i now know i can do this without being guilty.
