Another way of limiting damage on S-days, which I've
mentioned before, but I guess it bears repeating, is
to identify a really nice treat in advance and eat it
before you start chewing up the rug. This has at least
three advantages:

1) You'll probably wind up eating less, because an
appetite that has been treated with respect won't be
out for revenge. 

2) You'll eat something you really enjoy instead of
what is nearest at hand. Pleasure *is* an advantage.

3) Noting a temptation during the week for future
delectation can help defer/avoid the temptation. I
call this "wishlisting," like the way you can wishlist
books on amazon.com.
