      I feel a cheat meal once a week has helped me so far, and has helped me in the past as well.

      Of course, just start out small with something your comfortable with. There's no need to rush into a cheat day if you think it may cause you problems. Like I said before, it may not be for everyone. All I know is that it's great for me and fits my lifestyle perfectly. Just be happy with your diet. Thats all you have to worry about.

      Thank you :) im gonna stick it out without a cheat day for the first week, weigh in on sunday, and then have a 'cheat' meal (and possibly dessert) on monday then see if it looks better or not on next weeks weigh in :)

      Wow. 8000- 13000. I'm kind glad I don't have the capacity to put that much away!

      My weight tends to be very balanced around the 9 stone mark - I stick to my diet religiously and eat around 1200 calories Monday - Friday, and exercise every day. I guess my 'cheat days' would be the weekend, where I'll drink a fair amount and have whatever I want to eat, and break from exercise as a result, but even if I drink cider I rarely go past the 4000 mark on a day, it's just kinda impossible.

      Dude I ate a 12" pizza by myself on Saturday, and on my Sunday weekly weigh in I was down 3lbs for the week...ha ha..

      Hell yes cheat days work...as long as you plan for them they are great. I also move them around, if I have to, to fit special occaisions.

      Ok, so Saturday is around the corner yet again and I was wondering what I should indulge in? I pretty much satisfied my Oreo fix last Saturday and I'm already going to be getting wings for dinner. What craving should I choose to satisfy? Ice cream Sundays? Chocolate bars? Reese's? Hmmm... Maybe cannolis?

      Spidey open your diary so we can see what you are actually doing. You are either promoting disordered eating or your not and your diary will let us all know. If you can't do that then stop promoting binge eating.

      Personally, I don't see the need...

      ...(I haven't had a real craving since shortly after dropping the grains and (nearly all) added sugars) late last year...

      ...but glad you found what works for you. Of course, if you'd open your diary, it would let some of the others on this thread satisfy their curiosity.
