An occasional treat should not be a problem. Another thing that helps is, having smaller portion of a more healthy sweet (like something with less fat and sugar). Once you start losing weight, that itself becomes a motivation to control your desire for sweets. Excellent article Darlene,

I have a huge hankering for sweets. Sometimes I do ok, but others I just indulge. Then afterwards I regret it and starve myself the rest of the day. Ugh! :( This certainly hit the sweet spot.

What a great plan. I love it!! My husband and I are runners and training is key to success! I like the idea of planning for an occasional week. That helps to stay focused on a goal (to get to the sweets!) Just kidding. Really, though, if we know we are only allowed one treat at a certain [special] time in the week, we will appreciate it more, and [hopefully] have alternatives throughout the week to stem off those cravings...like a piece of fruit or something. :) That was awesome!!!
