Is it cheating if it is within your calories?

    This thread is great, today Ive just eaten 400 cals of chocolate and was feeling crap but screw it I havent eaten dinner yet I can salvage it. I usually like to eat healthily just cos I feel better. But today, im off, Im curled up on the couch and chocolate is what made me feel good! Go for it!

    I felt really bad yesterday for eating an almond finger... I am trying to eat healthier... It isnt easy and junk is still junk at the end of the day even if I am within my calorie limit

    I eat what I want as long as it's within my limits for the day. That's why I pre-track, for example I knew we were going to the movies last night and that I wanted both popcorn and milk duds. I pre-track them early in the day and then planned the rest of my food accordingly. I will need to do this the rest of my life, so it needs to be sustainable.

    I just had a cup of ice cream as part of my lunch. I say no, not cheating, I plan these things and it keeps me from binging. Sundays are usually my most carefree diet day, had cheesecake for breakfast one Sunday a few months ago.
    I know I feel better eating healthy foods most of the time and when I do indulge it is good stuff, better than eating the gross low fat low calorie garbage snacks out there.

    I do the same thing lately.. Really? I find that I'm learning how to eat like a skinny person. Isn't that what they do? Eat what they want..but keep it in check..balance it out? I always equated eating something "bad" as a reason to throw in the towel and eat everything bad. Now, I'm learning I can balance it all out..exercise extra..eat lighter the next day and i don't gain.

    It is so simple..yet I never realized this before. I had an "all or nothing" eating mentality. I think this is a good thing!

    I'll add..that I don't think it is good to eat like that all the time..but when you have those stretches of time when you're not eating your healthy best...nice to know you can manage it until you get back on track.

    Im the same way, eat a bowl of icecream and Im done for the nexty month! Its horrible.
