I find that if I can just hold off the sweets and let the moment go by, I'm never saying later "oh I really wish I would have eaten that cookie." :) I like your philosophy Sara!

I would exercise and decided to put those burned calories in my 'exercise bank' and treat myself by NOT wasting all that effort I just put in. I can cash in once a week for a really good and decadent dessert once I had built up enough metabolic cash (though not to say overindulge, but get the body working for you instead of the other way around). Knowing that I'll treat myself to a slice of vegan chocolate cake with raspberry chocolate ganache helps me resist the everyday things like cookies and muffins.

It really is eye opening. I am trying to drop those last few stubborn pounds and I go through exactly this. I will wlk or run and think it's ok to splurge and eat the extra handful of chips or chocolate because I ran or walked in the morning. Then I get frustrated when my weight doesn't budge!! I will be forgoing the extra's now! Thank you :) Wow! Thank you for posting this info. It really is eye opening. I am trying to drop those last few stubborn pounds and I go through exactly this.
