No worries! I think the idea behind it is that it encourages sensible and sustainable eating, and discourages treat-binge type behaviour. I think it works pretty well. I was successful with SW a number of years ago and while saving syns was helpful in some ways, in others it wasn't. I used to see my eating in terms of weeks, and if I went overboard with syns, I felt I had ruined the whole week and would give up till next weigh in, and sometimes skip group altogether. I find not worrying about saving them means I can treat each day separately and if one day goes a bit squiffy, I have a fresh new start the next morning! And providing you don't use it too frequently, flexi-synning really does work.
