    does anyone have a cheat meal? Or do you just work some cheat foods or should I say "bad foods" or whatever your preference is into their calorie goals? I haven't had a takeaway in 6 months and will be having one next weekend however instead of ordering a full meal to myself I'm going to just half 1 meal between me & my partner .. How far do people go with food does anyone totally cut bad food out of their lives for good? I like to have the odd biscuit or piece of chocolate but I don't over indulge I will have like a square of chocolate rather than a full bar. Just curious as to what people do? :)

    try to look at your diet (noun) as a whole...individual food items aren't inherently "bad"...diets can be good or bad, but in context, individual food items aren't inherently the devil.

    As an example, in the context of my diet as a whole, which happens to be very well balanced and chalk full of awesome nutrition, taking my two boys out for pizza night every couple of weeks is not a big deal...it's pretty damned irrelevant to the big picture. Having pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of the week would be a different story (and yes, I realize that's an extreme but you get the point).

    Big picture thinking...don't drown in minutia. I don't consider having the occasional soda or pizza night with my boys or taking everyone out for an ice cream to be "cheating"...I call that living life and enjoying myself...these types of things are more or less occasions, not daily events...in the context of the bigger picture, they are irrelevant to the whole.

    no food is inherently evil, nor should a person ever feel guilty for choosing to eat a specific type of it. Unless it belongs to someone else. Like if someone finds the liter of cappuccino frozen yogurt i'm planning to devour tonight and takes it before i can get to it.....then they should feel very VERY guilty.

    Hahaha now this is most definetley something someone should feel guilty about and if not well you can sure make them feel that way ..This made me LOL!!

    On days I know I will have pasta or a dinner out, I try to have low calorie foods during the day like egg whites and salads so when I have my meal its sort of balanced.

    That's a good idea I think I will start doing this so it stays balanced I didn't think of doing that :smile:
