ALL of your happiness should not be derived from your physical appearance or BMI or whatever, that’s ED territory and also just a sad way to live. I’d hate not being able to go out for a meal with friends because of calorie restrictions. To me a few extra calories on a Friday night meted by a harder workout on Saturday is worth it. Much better than being home alone weighing chicken breast on a postal scale. Telling someone who’s been successful with weight loss and training that her method is flawed because she enjoys the occasional snack is ridiculous.

Charlie sheen might abuse the moderation method, just like people with eating disorders abuse your method. Although I do know people who have been able to smoke crack in moderation, eventually you have to stop or it will get worse.
