So last week was my wife's birthday.  I know I say "everything in moderation" all the time but in this case, there was no moderation.  We went to Melt. 

I could say that I felt guilty cheating or that I was disappointed in myself for going but the truth is I was fine with it.  I ate really well that week so why shouldn't I be able to treat myself? I enjoyed it, a lot.  The next day I went right back to healthy eating and never looked back. I have been doing really well and decided that, just like bread, this is part of my life.  I don't want to deny myself these things and be on a "diet" for the rest of my life.  I want to modify what I do now to make it a lifestyle change that still affords me the opportunity to splurge every now and then.  So maybe in this case the moderation is not in the amount of food I ate but in the frequency that I go to Melt. 

PS – In case you were wondering, it was REALLY good!
