    I will have a cheat meal maybe once a month. But it really isn't a cheat at all because I will plan for it the whole week and be under my calories enough each day to make up for my possible overage. I do not make it a habit because I do not want to allow myself to get out of control and go right back to where I was. I've come to far now. But most of the things that I used to think were so amazing, just do not appeal to me anymore.

    Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!

    I plateaued a couple of months ago and I started giving myself two "cheat days" a week and I am now losing again. I follow a very strict 1200-1300 net calories a day Mon-Fri and then Sat and Sun I just don't log my food. If there's something I've been wanting, I eat it.....but no, I don't pig out until I make myself sick lol! Sat and Sun is also when I allow myself to have alcohol...I don't usually drink but occasionally on the weekend I'll have a drink or two. Try it for a couple of weeks and see if it works for you.
