My SIL was extremely into WW a couple of years ago, to the point where she could not enjoy ANY meals with us, they all had to be specially cooked, points counted etc. That included all holidays or special occasions. She absolutely would not deviate from her program. Now, after she has lost the weight she wanted to, and has lightend up, we can have a nice Thanksgiving dinner this year. She will watch herself, but she knows it is OK to slip a little once in a while, then get back to the program.

I think at the beginning, she thought if she slipped once, she would never get back to the discipline. Now that she knows she won't, she is soooo much better to be around.
