hi, I'm kind of 'cheating' sometimes too at the mo... if ever I feel like eating I have in the freezer some smart price chicken breast fillets from Asda... I have one done on the George Foreman grill and have that as meal followed by my Cambridge bar. I don't do this every day, and it's only when I feel really hungry and when I'm afraid I'm gonna break the diet by ringing for a takeaway! (no other food in the house lol)
I believe for me personally, and for many people, allowing a controlled treat or snack might in the long run keep us on the diet long term, whereas a complete SS is too much to ask psychologically...
I know that I put a lot of weight on due to steroids for illness, so food is not the be all and end all for me, however take it away completely and I sometimes go into 'panic' mode and start to crave it!
If a little (and it is little!) piece of chicken is enough every now and again to keep me on this diet and I still carry on losing weight successfully, I will continue to have my little chicken 'treat'...
I do believe it's a hard diet to do, and yes a lot of people can do it 100%, others of us need a little extra to stay on track and make it work!
Dont give in! Just find a way to work with your body and your own needs!!
