Do you have a day when you just cheat like it aint nobody's

I do really good during the week, as in Monday through Thursday, but Friday's are normally the days that I say "What the heck! Give me a slice of that 3 cheese pizza please!!!!" Or I'll hit up Glorias and throw back a Margarita and some of that bean dip.:drinker: :ohwell:

Yea that bean dip at Gloria's is so addicting. I am going to Gloria's today....:(. I will behave today.

The advice of trainers and fitnees fanatics that say a hi cal day is good for the metabolism is my justification to eat and not fill one once of guilt

Its hard for me to stay on track over the weekends

Yes... that would be Thursday.

Thursdays are sacred. This is the one day a week when my girlfriends and I get together to catch up on life, cook meals together, and drink a bunch of wine. White wine is a must! My diet calls for me to not have any alcohol WHATSOEVER so I'm good throughout the week, but sneak a few glasses on Friday-eve...

I value my friends and love my wine so even if it takes slightly longer to lose all of the weight I need to, at least I'm keeping tradition going.

I've lost five pounds in a week, I can afford to have a glass or two! :drinker:

I feel the same way. I work my butt off during the week to eat right and exercise. I deserve at least a day to treat myself, not go overboard though, but treat myself to some good food and a nice drink:-)

I don't do it every week, but I had one this past Saturday. Not pretty at all!

Woo! Sunday was a mess weekends are usually bad! I was just eating like crazy; went over my calorie goal by 850...no judgement. Even though I am trying to keep track of calories, sometimes it doesn't matter cause if I really want tortilla chips and cheese dip, that's happening. I need stronger will power

Wow! I really admire you ladies for having one day in particular that you allow yourself to splurge. Me, I probably allow myself a little splurge everyday! I choose it this way because I don't do very well with restrictions overall. I usually sabatoge myself if I restrict myself too much, and end up not making any progress. So each day I allow myself a little something; a piece of chocolate perhaps, a glass of wine, a heavy carb item, etc. On days when I know I'm going to go HAM later, I will graze during the day and save my calories for later. This has worked best for me, and I still see results, so I just stick with that attitude! lol

Yes! I believe it is important to treat yourself and have something to look forward to. I weigh in at home on Sunday mornings. If I hit my target, I allow the day to be a cheat day. Yesterday when I weighed in I hit my target, but my cheat day was a bit anticlimactic because now that I have lost weight I get full faster and I just don't have the taste for certain foods anymore.

Bumping* this thread....I just started, but its not my first time trying to lose weight. What I've learned is that total deprivation does NOT work for me. This time around, I plan on having Friday and Saturday as cheat days....But even then it doesn't mean i wanna go crazy on the food....but adding in one special treat on Friday and Saturday (200 - 400 calories) will keep me honest for the rest of the week.
