Ms Monica Percy:

It is a question of balance; one has to have a little treat also. I have been doing so over the course of the few weeks. I have been having an occasional drink or other treat. I need a treat because if one gives up everything one initially loved, it is hard to stick to the plan in the longer term. However, if one feels one wants a little treat, one should have it and continue with the good stuff for the rest of the time. That works.
