    I would probably resist the urge if I were you. In addition to feeling like crap from your period (I assume that's what you are talking about), you will probably feel bad from cheating, both emotionally and physically. It's up to you though! I would probably work a little bit of chocolate into my day, if I were craving it (which I usually do when I start), instead of waste the whole day's worth of calories.

    You'll enjoy feeling proud for resisting more than you'll enjoy the feeling of guilt for giving in!

    your period should never be an excuse to overeat. I mean think about it.... lets say you're stuck with it for 5 days out of every month. that means potentially overeating 15-20% of the time! That's a lot, and you really can't be very successful doing that.

    If you're craving something- say chocolate- have a peice, just do a workout so it fits neatly into your day.

    It's ok to have a small piece of chocolate. Just be sure to break off a piece and put the rest away. When I crave M&Ms I'll count out a serving or half a serving and put the rest away. Also, drink lots of water.

    If you are craving carbs try some oats with a tablespoon of honey and cinnamon-it has worked for me in the past. With the chocolate I buy one candy bar only.

    with the way your phrasing the question, i'm going to answer that its always ok as long as your willing to deal with the repercussions.

    don't look at your "friend" as an excuse to cheat. If you have a craving, satisfy it. But going into a full blown cheat day won't make anything better.

    To answer your question ..NO its not ok to have a real "bad" cheat day your sabotaging your work you have put in thus far...But in all honesty I think you knew that ....Choose 1-2 items that your really craving and have a measured serving of them...self control is key
