I figured this out long ago (without a PhD AND without a book contract!)

If you deny yourself too much, eventually something HAS to give!

Better to let it out in a controlled way (a la pressure cooker steam
valve)

My philosophy is "Moderation in all things. . . INCLUDING Moderation!"

(if you live a life of denial, you're going to have too much tendency
towards over-indulgence building up -- something's gonna give & at the
wrong time(cf. Murphy, the prick!)

Every now and again I allow myself to sit down & eat a half a pie (or a
half dozen yeast doughnuts, or. . . ) (but I end up teaching myself
stronger willpower by not allowing this to become too much of a habit,
but still allowing it sometimes (I tend to go through regroup &
restrengthen phases where I gotta go cold turkey to regain control of my
self & my appetites(eg. sweet teeth)

I got given a 12-pack of Atkin's Advantage meal replacement
drinks(choco) -- tasty little things (at $2.25 regular shelf price,
they'd BETTER be!) -- I just have to keep reminding myself they REPLACE
a meal, not ADD to it! (so no making a nice big dinner & washing it down
with the Advantage drink! *G*)

Because I care,
