    PSH! I have a treat nearly every day and I've lost over 40 pounds.
    Everything in moderation!

    YES!!!!! I just posted something very similar! Healthy, thin people eat treats sometimes too - this is about something we can LIVE with forever and if someone told me I could never ever have pizza again then I'd probably throw in the towel right now! EACH TO YOUR OWN!

    depriving yourself will only cause a binge later. have some in moderation and it's all good! i enjoy a small treat pretty often myself. :-)

    For reals! I eat a couple little pieces of chocolate every night and it hasn't hurt my weight loss goal. Those little bites of chocolate keep me from going out and getting a whole piece of cake instead. That's a victory in my book!

    Do what you want. You're the only person who is accountable and it's no one else's business to criticize. :happy:

    yOu are fine. If you don't treat yourself once in a while you will feel deprived and then quit the program I believe it is healthier to have a treat once in a while then to deprive yourself all together. :)

    I always eat a small portion of what I normally would eat. If I didn't allow myself my treats, I would binge big time!!!!

    I would hope that everyone here is trying to keep you honest and help out. They may not have the "kindest" methods of doing so, but do remember that it is very difficult to truly communicate using only type. In the end, you only have one person to answer to and that's you. Even if you have a treat and you would consider it a fail, it's okay. We all fail at some point. The key is to not get discouraged and continue to move forward.

    Who needs people like that! Who *ARE they? Unfriend them! Heck, I am having pizza tonight! It is my daughter's birthday! You have to live! I won't live on island without something sweet or salty to eat ever again! *THAT's what is great about MFP, you get to learn to eat the right way, not NOT eat! GEeeesh! You go girl!

    Glad you ranted!!

    I agree with everyone so far - you need treats to keep you sane and to keep your motivation going. I don't know anyone that could live on a diet of salad for the rest of their lives (except a rabbit!)

    I had wine tonight and it felt GOOD!!! :laugh:

    keep treating yourselves (in moderation) and enjoying your weight loss journeys

    :drinker:

    I have a cheat day every saturday, and enjoy it
    no matter what anyone says
    it helps me, I get back on it sunday and do well all week

    if you want it, you do it. its your weight loss plan, its your body, and you can lose weight at whatever speed you wish
    and you can eat whatever you wish.

    if you want chocolate you eat chocolate... you are the one that has to work it off later
    not them!

    We all are adults. If you wanna have a treat, have a treat! I couldn't go without one all the time. And I had huge success here, so for me it works. If some wanna deny themselves everything and it works for them, great for them. They do what they do, I do what I do.

    I agree with treats. I have a pack of Curly Wurlys in the fridge for when I feel that chocolate crave, but as long as I dont go over calorie target then I dont feel too bad!!! I dont have one every day- but if you deprive yourself all the time then you could fail - not worth feeling bad over!! :smile:
