Off Plan eating taught me a lesson

I have been happy with my choices so far with my changes in woe and doing good, well fairly good with the cravings. But the other day a friend talked about french fries and I had realized how long it had been since I had ate any. I wondered if they were as good as I remembered and my friend talked about. Well I didn't run right out and buy some than, nor did I obsses over them but I did think that they were something I wanted to have and wanted to plan an off plan eating time for where I wouldn't have any guilt over eating them. Well I did and ate the french fries only to realize they weren't as good as the old days and I am happy to say that I ate them now as I can use it as an experience to myself that I really am not missing out on anything when I might think I am. I can also thank the low carb website and others for their articles, thoughts, and blogs on things like off plan eating, and a useless thing as guilt. I have been able to turn what would have been a self-esteem crushing act into a simple lesson. Thanks everyone
