Easter cheat day: yes or no ?

I don't do "cheat days" I'm not on a diet, I eat what I want when I want, and don't cut out any food so a bit of chocolate today isn't a big deal, hasn't done my weight loss any harm :flowerforyou:

^^^ This right here and Happy Easter to you all!

absolutely.

I'm afraid it has turned out to be one, even though it wasn't planned. I am over on just about all my macro's, but you know what? I don't care. I stick to my diet every day, never go over (I did Christmas day) so I really don't mind. I doubt I will gain any weight and I have enjoyed my naughty treats. A once in a while treat does us all good, and will keep me on the straight and narrow until my daughters birthday in November. Three off diet days a year sounds ok to me. :-)

I am still logging everything but not concerned about staying in my calorie goal. I have been very good this last week. I have decided to take the day off. I am not eating huge amounts of everything but will not deny myself a taste of something I want. As of right now I have 6oo calories left and that will not be enough because there is a piece of cake with my name on it. As well as some potaoes, ham, roll, beans, and fruit. I am not walking today either. I usually don't on Sundays so that is not any different.

I have completed my diary for today (I am in the UK). I didn't have any chocolate, or candy, but I did eat way more than I usually do, and I have also logged every last calorie. My diary makes me accountable to myself, so I personally can't see the point in hiding what you have eaten. For most, if not all of us it's only going to be one day off diet, so hardly the end of the world. :-)

I save calories all week because I knew today was going to have some delicious, twice a year, surprises. Beef roast for dinnter followed by a black jelly bean and chocolate. And I already did 30 min of walking. More to come.

Mine was last night...bought a bag of jelly beans planning to eat only a few at the time...got on the computer and sat here and ate the whole bag...it was a small bag, 7 oz, but I allowed myself to do it and felt bad about it later. The bag came to 775 calories...I could have had so much good, healthy food with those calories...that is what got me in to the shape I am in....mindless, unknowing, uncaring eating.

Nope, Candy was never my thing anyways

No I will not cheat on Easter. I just started keeping up with my calories/exercise. I have got to stay motivated to lose this excess weight I am caring. My secret sister at church gave me a chocolate bunny and some marshmellow chocolate eggs but I will not eat them. Pass them off to someone else.

Probably the only person who has gone totally overboard the last few days, and consumed vast quantities of chocolate.
Will take me a week or two, most likely, to undo the damage. Not logged, too much to log, lol. But probably about a Ib of chocolate today.

I am tracking everything and still have a few calories left over. That includes our desert!

Yup. Already had tons of food and I dont care. I Just devoured an entire Lindt bunny. Its one day. It will not change anything. Scale might be up a bit in the morning, but it will come off a day or two later.

373 cals over. Yup, I've had chocolate. It's a holiday......let's indulge a little. Tomorrow's a new day.......enjoy today!! :drinker:

Oh holy hell, you should see what I've eaten today.


Homemade almond scones with cherry conserve and clotted cream for breakfast/lunch

Duck roast dinner

And I'm about to start on the apple and rhubarb crumble with custard


I regret nothing!

No cheating here today. I am saving cheating for vacation only, which does not mean blowing it out, it just means switching to maintenance calories during that time. What do bunnies and eggs have to do with Easter anyway?

I think they are symbols of a fertility goddess, whom has been celebrated for thousands of years. Don't know how it turned to chocolate though, lol.

I started on Friday...12,000 calories in and I'm down a pound. I haven't eaten anything yet today except a couple hundred cals of veggies. I'm sure I'll hit 6k today too. If you want to, just do it. :drinker:

How do you men manage to do that? My bf only had to cycle for a few hours over the last few days and he has dropped 4 Ibs. It takes me weeks of hard work to drop that, lol.
