Weight Watchers has completely changed the way I approach food. I think so much more about what I eat. Not in an obsessive way, but in an educated and interested way. I simply can't say enough about how much I've learned by trying to eat foods I want by reinventing them -- or still just eating them, in a smaller quantity.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with letting yourself eat "junk" every once in a while. HOWEVER, the attitude that you have about food cannot be altered after having a slice of pizza or two one night! If I could go back and tell myself to stop thinking, "Well, I didn't do well last night, so might as well enjoy what I want tonight as well. I'll get back to the diet tomorrow," I might have lost all this weight forever ago!
That's the slippery slope that so many people talk about.
I can't stress the importance of knowing that having a slice of cheesecake is not a diet ruiner! But, it also won't make you feel great. Sometimes, I think I deserve a reward for my hard work, so I let myself have chips and queso. Chips and queso do not love me as much as I once loved them. But I don't obsess about it or feel like a failure because every morning, I wake up with a brand new day to make brand new decisions in.
