    I started off with having cheat days Saturday-Sundays and things went well. I could have a balanced meal Mon-Friday with no issues. Know I've become accustom to eating right so even on my Saturday-Sunday's I find myself choosing all the right meals and eating with in a balance. I think (for myself especially) if we put too much on "diet" then we ultimately begin to fail because of all the pressure we put on ourselves. I say have a day or so. with that then the very next day you adjust your food intake and up your workout to accomidate what you've eaten.

    I don't have cheat days or meals because I am not on a diet. I am changing the way I eat, not what I eat. I will tell you that I've been on this current weight loss path since June 21. In that time my weight has gone up twice, both times were the week of my TOM. Every other week has been a loss or stayed the same. I also haven't exercised but twice in the last month (life & sickness *sigh*). I think if you deprive yourself of the foods you love you are setting yourself up for failure. If you eat what you are craving in moderation then your body gets satisfied.

    I don't find it necessary so much. If Im craving something that's not exactly healthy (which doesn't happen often anymore), I allow myself that meal. I don't schedule a cheat meal in, I go with how I feel.
    And I neeevver do a full on cheat DAY.
