I may get in a hurry and not count my calories, or not weigh or measure my amounts. I may crave foods that tend to eat up my calorie allowance too quickly. That&#8217;s kind of how the last couple of days have gone. \u00a0I believe however, that taking a day off from calorie counting, really is not a terrible calorie counting problem.<\/p>\n<p>What I do think though, is that it is important to get right back with it. I can think of all the many diets I have ever tried, and if I ever got off the diet, that was pretty much the end of that diet. But I am taking another approach here. I am learning how to live realistically with calorie counting.<\/p>\n<p>There are always going to be stressers in life. So yeah, I might take a day off from calorie counting. But the important thing is that I get back with it right away. And try, try not to get off track very often!! Since this is a lifestyle change and not a temporary diet, I have decided that I may not be an &#8220;A&#8221; student at this every day. some days I may be a &#8220;C&#8221; student.
