Does anyone have a cheat day?

I'm not adverse to cheating for special occasions like a party, and I only get to be home with my husband maybe every other weekend so I will usually be pretty lenient those days. BUT I will be extra vigilant for a few days after to make up for it.

I don't schedule any cheat days. Instead, I just always eat whatever I want when I got out to dinner. Sometimes I got out twice a week. Sometimes, I never go out.

I have cheat days, but I don't plan them. If it's a special occasion, I'll indulge. But right after that, it's back to eating as healthily as possible.

One day every other weekend I let myself go nuts. Still losing weight eating disgustingly yummy food here! :drinker:

I do special occasion cheat days like birthdays. If there is cake, I will eat it happily!

Yes on the weekends I do. But I try my best to stay in or at least close to my calories limit. This is after the hard way forever. I find people who have actual cheat days, never lose the weight. They spend the entire week trying to lose all the water weight they gained that weekend.. So I find the way I do it now works better. Then once a month I allow myself to indulge at a restaurant with my fiance or my girlfriends. It keeps me on track and i don't feel like I am depriving myself of the food that I enjoy.

Well said. I really had to start watching myself on the weekends (not just Friday) because I would eat much saltier foods and be bloated come Monday or Tuesday!

I honestly don't have cheat days. Yes I have days where I go over on calories, fats, etc. but I don't have cheat days. As long as my ratios and stuff look good for the week I am happy

I have a day when I have a cheat meal--or a good meal/drinks. But I don't go crazy and eat my daily caloric intake in a meal. I also usually still exercise on that day.

I also never deprive myself during the week. I do my best to enjoy filling and tasty (healthy) food. If I need a splurge, like chips or ice cream (etc) it's a very small portion and make sure to earn it!
