Sunday Brunch Dillemma!

Hello everyone,
The Lounge has been so incredibly supportive and helpful already, so I know this will be a good place to find help!
Every Sunday, Dupont Circle hosts a wonderful Farmer's Market. I always buy the most beautiful fresh fruits and veggies, as well as delicious things like eggs, goat cheese, ad fresh bread. Every week since I moved here and learned about the Market, I have treated myself to a pastry at the bread stand. It's this incredible chocolate almond buttery flaky thing - pastry to dream about, made and sold by delightfully brisk French people :) They're enormous, and probably contain a year's worth of calories. Here's the dillemma - I believe in treating yourself, especially because it's a weekly ritual I enjoy and I have been "cheating" on my diet way, way less than any other time I've tried to lose weight. But I almost feel like my success is delicate - a spell that I don't want to break by eating pastry (does that sound ridiculous? I know it does, but it's how I feel).
The question is, do I canonize this weekly ritual, so that I know I have a day where I eat something I love, lingered over with coffee and a book French-style? It might be really helpful in keeping me from binging other times in the week if I have a set routine like this, because I work well with routines. OR is this weird feeling of "breaking the spell" legitimate, and will I endanger my success?

Am I the only one who has thought about this?
Thanks, in advance.
