After years of struggling

hurleycutie142

This week i have learned a huge lesson that has taken me years to understand. One struggle was eating 100 percent perfect for 3 days and then when i am faced with eating something bad i binge and then fall off track until Monday. This week i ate good for 2 days and yesterday i had one serving of pizza bagels (my son was eating a whole pack and i had a couple). Not only did i still lose weight but i didnt binge and was able to still be in a deficit.

Lesson learned. Everything is about balance.

This is the hardest thing to do and you have now done it!

Cheat meal is ok once in awhile but cheat days lead to cheat weekends which leads to I'll start again next month.

Good for you keep it up!

This doesn't have to be a cheat meal or day. It is simply about incorporating foods you enjoy into your diet in a way that is sustainable over the long run.

OP good job on learning moderation!

Balance can often be tougher than perfection at first, but it can be practiced, and once you get good at it is so much more sustainable and satisfying.
