Cheat! Cheat! Big fat cheat!

Yep. I'll admit it. Look, it's been a tough week. (or more). My eating plan allows for one cheat day in the first month, 2 in the second and 1 a week in the third, but I've completely rewritten the rules. They now read 'If you're having a hard time cheat, cheat and cheat again'. Seems fair enough to me:-)
Had my hair cut last week to go out for a meal with DH. Really nice meal and my only cheat was the alcohol and the strawberries, meringue and cream. Then had a horrible 2 days. Hit the pits. So I thought 'what do women generally do when they feel this miserable? They eat chocolate that's what'. And having discoveed that I can eat chocolate without getting too much of a rash, and given that I'd just bought myself a Lindt bunny, i scoffed it. And I loved it.
Then I found out that I'd run out of my vitamin and amino acid supplements. Now, there's no point sticking to the diet if I can't do all of it is there? So normal service will be resumed when they arrive. Till then I've been quite surprised that even though I'm allowing myself to cheat I'm not bingeing, I'm just giving in to temptation a little bit. A mars bar here, a half a glass of beer there.
Oh well. When my supplements get here I'm going to give it the full 8 weeks and not cheat at all, unless it's an officially sanctioned cheat day. I may have to bend the rules again...
