Honestly, good for you! I'm not advocating that we should abuse cheating, but after weeks, possibly months of eating super-safe, you deserve to have a moment of weakness every once in a while. For me, my girlfriends hosted a girls night for myself and another friend because our birthdays are this week. So we went to our favorite Mexican Restaurant and I had TWO MARGARITAS!  I haven't touched alcohol in 10 months because its a huge trigger for me. But I had already decided in advance to celebrate in some fashion, and since that's my favorite drink, I just went for it. However, I have to say that I did so smartly, because I ate a bunch of tortillas they serve at the table there before I drank any, and I didn't gulp it down but savored it. The best part? I had an awesome time AND didn't have any major IBS issues the next day!  So from one cheater to another, you go girl!!!
