4th of July: Cheat Day

  • Ate a pint of milk n cookies Ben n Jerry's as well as a rack of ribs, cornbread and beans. Of course it was still within maintenance because I burned 1750 calories biking in the mountains earlier that day. I have been consistently using myFitnessPal and exercise to never have to have a cheat day. Have maintained 9% bodyfat for 2 months now. No cheating necessary.

    how is it a cheat day when you're staying under your calories?

    *head hurts*

    ETA: i posted this before i saw your goals and what other trusted friends of mine posted (skullshank and krys140). please, please eat more so that you can FUEL your body. you're still so young and growing--you may not have fully grown in height yet (i wasn't done at 18). also, i think you could benefit from talking to a professional. i don't know your height, but i saw that your goal weight is 95#. that is awfully tiny for an adult woman. please take care of yourself and develop healthy habits while you're still young!

    I have never-- and I mean never have had a cheat day in the past five months, so I've decided that today will be my cheat day. Of course, I'll stay under my calories, but for the rest of it: I don't care.

    Anyone else cheating today?

    I just looked at your diary (hope you don't mind; if they're open I usually figure they're fair game). I'm concerned for you-it looks like by "cheat" you mean eat more than your usual 300-500 calories per day. Have you been doing this for a long time?

    I'm concerned too :( Not only does it seem like this is an everyday thing, but some days have only 200 calories.. This is so dangerous :( Your putting your self at risk of becoming anorexic, your not giving your body enough fuel to even survive off of (meaning basic functions like living, and breathing) I think you should consider getting help, besides thinking "cheating" involves eating anything really, but your calorie goal can eventually lead to death, I think you need to get help finding a better relationship with food :(


    Don't do it to yourself!

    I'm not sure if your talking to the OP or to me... :) If its me I'm confused by what you meant...
