Hi Lee, it's Debbie here...I think that you could tweak the system if=20
you call the hurricaine a "Storm" that starts with S!
Don't focus on the mistakes you make in the process. As I said to=20
someone a few days ago:
Setbacks are for people who are going somewhere..if you weren't on=20
the road to a successful life, you would never even think of yourself=20
as "falling off" the path to begin with, because you wouldn't have 
a=20
goal in mind...Keep your eyes on the prize
Welcome that setback and embrace it!
It means that you are going somewhere, not just settling to stay the=20
same. It is not easy, I know that very well..I don't know how=20
overweight you are, or what your background is, but we are all in=20
this group for similar reasons..Incase you were wondering. I am 210=20
lbs now (after my first loss of 5!) so I can relate to wanting to get=20
thinner. And guess what, 3 years ago I was around 165. I didn't=20
maintain the loss, because I didn't adopt a lifestyle change and when=20
the stress hit me big time this winter, I got really depressed sat on=20
my buns, and ate non-stop...I feel so much more in control just=20
having to make some small modifications to my eating and thinking=20
with Reinhards great suggestions, and I really feel that I will be=20
able to keep this going for life because it is just about not=20
overeating and I can still enjoy those high calorie foods once or=20
twice a week.=20
It takes a Herculean effort to keep your mind positive, but that will=20
make the difference. Most people gain weight when they are sad,=20
lonely or stressed...
Be a friend to yourself and congratulate yourself for every small=20
achievement...Including the setbacks.
That should pull you through some rough patches :)=20
PS Hurricaines are very stress producing, maybe you were just afraid=20
and looking for comfort in a candybar.
Be well,
Love
Debbie
