Cheat day?

harleygirl6363

Does anyone give themselves a cheat day? Since I have started doing that I dont have cravings anymore. I dont go nuts I usually just eat one cheat meal on my cheat day that isnt the healthiest but so good. Just curious if anyone else does this?

I do this but have gotten to the point that even on my cheat days I don't go over anymore. Went over tonight and its not my cheat day but with the fact that I havne't been going over I didn't freak out about it like i used to. I think its good because then you don't have to limit yourself so much.

mine accidently happen... i have bad days, but they arent as bad as a normal day before i started this...i dont beat myself up over it, and i dont completely fall or the wagon and consume the whole frig..i just keep telling myself-ok this is now your cheat day you can have that ice cream bar, but you cant have two..every calorie counts- it better to be over you goal by 500 than by 600

I allow myself 1 cheat meal on the weekend,but then get right back on track.It's funny,but the things I crave for, if I limit it to the 1 time and only on the weekend,by the time the weekend gets here, I'm totally over it!

We all do some days but if your honest about it it is all good keep up the good work you deserve a cheat day sometimes..

Used to call it a cheat day- now I just say I'm confusing my metabolism by varing my calorie intake.:noway: I still stay at, under or slightly over my "goal" for cals, but eat what I like- afer all I'm gonna be doing this for the rest of my life...

It's a strategic move, to make sure your metabolism doesn't get stuck in a rut. 3 days I eat under maintenance calories, and on the 4th day, I bump it up to maintenance.
