I’ve always promised myself cheat days, and I even included “rest days” in the COH program. And today was one of them. We were going to some friends for dinner, so I eased up on my diet. I did sip some wine while I was preparing the salad and dessert at home (and watching “The Remains of the Day), and I ate some of everything at dinner, although I took very small portions. (We had steak-and it was terrific!) Then I haven’t snacked at all this evening, after I got home. But I think I’ll go to bed very soon, to avoid temptation.

 I have to tell you, though, I really enjoyed the wine as I was cooking. It’s one of my favorite things, and it’s been one of the hardest things to give up–sipping wine while cooking. I’ll just have to allow it occasionally! There’s no value in making myself miserable; I won’t stick to the diet if I do that.
