I think if you are stable, you can handle a cheat now and again, but be VERY careful and keep them few and far between. I got a little to comfortable this summer with barbecues and all and I started getting mini-attacks...definitely food related. From what many veterans have posted, you can become "unstable" a lot more quickly than you became stable. So I would advise looking forward to maybe a particular food or event to splurge a little, but the rest of the time, remember all your hard work to get to the stable place that you are right now. You wouldn't want to undo that.
