To cheat, or not to cheat?

    Like others have said, I allow myself anything I want in moderation. Life is too short to deny yourself of things and view things as off limits.

    For example, this morning I busted my *kitten* at the gym and knowing I had quite a few extra exercise calories I'd have to end up eating, I treated myself to panda express for lunch. I've still got 900 calories left for snacks and dinner tonight too!

    Whenever I view something as "off limits" is when I end up failing at losing.
  • But there is a middle ground between 'cheating' and making some foods evil and off limits, judging by these posts anyone would think it's one or the other. Why not budget for the calories to have something you fancy like pizza, and have less of it and/or a less lardy version? I just feel that by continuing to see food as the be-all-and-end-all the cycle that lead to gaining weight will continue. There is more to life than eating and at the moment I am working hard to get my kicks from other things, not food.
