Cheat meal once a week?

    I have a relaxed evening (I don't call it cheating) once a week, generally the evening of my weighing in day - without that I know I would have struggled to stay committed. It's been invaluable in keeping me in control, knowing I can have that little extra just for one night makes me content to stay on track for the rest of the week.

    Sometimes I eat 'naughty' but more often than not I only go over my calories for that day by no more than a couple of hundred. OK I know there are going to be those out there who say this is so wrong, but look at my weight loss ticker - it's working for me, so I'll stay with it until such time as it stops, then I'll have to re-consider.

    I don't see MFP as a diet aid, I see it as an aid to a total change of lifestyle.
