Be very proud of yourself, you are doing great, the odd one at the weekend wont do you any harm and you are not a failure, I wish I could do it - I started as a teenager and gave up 29 years ago when I was pregnant and was off them for 16 years and during those years I still got cravings, I started again 16 years later through stress and have no willpower to give up again..Health Question & Answer
