Those darn McFlurries! All in all, it's not the end of the world. And if you figured out the points it would probably not be as bad as you think. If you want to try to understand what causes the temptation to strike, you have to really examine the situation. It is defnitely a weekend thing. How is your schedule different? Are you with different people? Are you alone at more times than usual? Do you feel more stressed? Are you feeling deprived? What were you doing right before you decided to go to McDonald's? Examine your answers to all these questions and you will probably come up with a profile of what triggered the splurges. Once you have an idea of what the triggers are, you can work on strategies that will help you counteract them. And don't forget how aweful you feel afterward, both physically and mentally. Try to remember those feelings the next time you are tempted. And if all else fails, plan a McFlurry into your weekly points and use it as something to look forward to and enjoy. That way you are in control of the McFlurry instead of it being in control of you! You can get through it and learn to overcome it. It just takes time. You've done so well already. Be proud of your accomplishment! You can do it!
