Hi Owensmum, hun pls dont be so hard on yourself we all r only human and especially us women cant be perfect all the time LOl.
If u have a blip then just carry on with your packs for the rest of the day and drink drink and drink as much water as u can manage to flush the carbs out of your system.
If u find u r having a hard time then have u considered one of the other Cd plans like poss 790 or 1000 then work your way down to Ssing.
Isobel one of the moderators on here wrote an amazing post so i thought i would copy and paste it 4 u.

Hi, I have been doing Lighter Life since 26th June 2006. I completed the 100 days and then did four weeks in development before deciding to embark on Management. I haven't done this the easy way but then why follow a straight route to success when you can take a nice scenic route instead??? I have lost just short of four stone, still about a stone overweight but am happy with being a size 14 - it is what I aimed for.
I am usually about as I have a window open with MiniMins during most of the day. If you need any help or support about falling off and climbing back on the wagon, please PM me and I will answer as soon as I physically can.
