Not to fear

I wouldn't worry about going overboard on S-days that much. Heck, I do all the time, and I'm sitll not doing that badly... (down 21 lbs since a year and a half ago. I've plateu-ed a little, but that's because they took away my fun Friday group cycling class at the gym... )
But seriously, think the law of averages. If you are good for 5 days and only bad 2, you will come out ahead. Really I've found that just keeping the *number* of S-days under control is most important.... this is especially true around holiday times and such (e.g., make Thanksgiving Thursday an S day, but not the Friday after, etc.)
Get your habits down first, such that the non-S days become routine and not that painful. Then if you still feel it necessary, you can work on getting the S-days under control.
There's my two cents, plus taxes and inflation.
