I'm about to come up on my first special event while on the program.
My boyfriend and I are going to go on a 3 day holiday next week and one of the things we're looking forward to is having dinner at the fancy schmancy restaurant one night at the resort we're going to be staying at. I'm not too concerned about most of the vacation, I can keep an eye on the points and allow myself a bit of leeway. But for that one dinner, it's a really special event for us, I'm pretty sure I'm going to get my ring and formal proposal, and the last thing I want to be thinking about is "how many points is this wonderful meal costing me?".
It's not that I want to gorge myself or anything. I simply don't want to have to think about my food for one evening.
How do I reconcile the need to relax with the guilt of not being a good girl for a day?

Easy. It's a special day. You can have two every year. This is one of them. You'll probably gain a pound or so but who cares. Just eat and drink what you want. Be careful though that after the holiday you get back OP.
For such a special occasion, just relax and enjoy yourself. However, if you've been doing the program for a while you might surprise yourself and automatically make good choices in your meals. If you do, that's an automatic NSV.
Have a good time. We'll be waiting to hear how your holiday goes. Hope everything turns out the way you wish.

Give yourself an official Day Off, don't count the points, stay on program the rest of the week, and look for a maintain rather than a loss. Then if you DO lose, it's an added bonus! 🙂 --
