treat meals? Do you ever regret them?

NOPE because it is the treat meals that keep me from throwing in the towel... Its knowing that I'm not giving up something FOREVER that keeps me on track.

Usually b/c I'm down to the last 10-15lbs. and I find even when I workout hard, and have a good deficit...even the nutrition sucks, the scale (and body) shows it. It's all about diet manipulation at this point.

I regret them almost every time... just because when I'm full, the satisfaction is over and a healthy meal would have likely filled me just the same.

With that said, I still have them (every week and half or so).

Since getting serious about losing weight, I try to avoid the treat meals as much as possible. I am going on 2 weeks strong. However, if you are from Nebraska or have ever been through Nebraska, you will know what Runza is. My mouth waters at the thought of it! I CRAVE a runza and their fries!
*cleaning the drool off my keyboard*
Today was pay day and I did bring my lunch, but as I am running errands I drive past a Runza and I tell ya, it took a LOT of will power to go the other direction. I had to talk myself out of it by telling my little naughty voice that they $6 or $7 I spend on a Runza meal would cover a full meal for my kids and I. I didn't realize how much I craved the treat food and what kind of effect it has on me. I came back to my office, ate my lunch and some carrots and drank some water. It felt good to not give in.

I don't bother eating anything that isn't completely worth it, so I have no regrets.

Except maybe that time I tried pig brains.

Nope.

Not even then. I didn't enjoy it. I almost hurled. But at least I can say, "I tried pig brains."

I only regret it if the meal wasnt what I expected. Although I regret 'healthy' meals too if it tasted bad or was bad quality.

I'm in the same boat. I saved myself 600 calories for dinner tonight and then ended up having two extra (I already had one before these) mini vanilla scones from Starbucks -.-' Although 120 calories per scone certainly was not as bad as it could have been, that small amount of 240 calories now means I only get 360 calories for dinner... which is pasta because my parents want to make dinner for me, and 360 calories for pasta is a lot less indulgent than 600. That small amount goes a long way psychologically.

Nope. Because I don't eat things I'm not enjoying.

If it's not a binge, just a treat meal,then, of course I don't regret it, it's a treat!

It's not fair. I have just started and there have been four special birthday parties at fab restaurants. So I decided to eat something deliciously new at each one. So far three out of the four I did that and still kept under my limit but the fourth was hot and cold seafood platters of the freshest most delicious prawns, scallops, oysters, Moreton Bay lobsters, fish, I left the mussels, and hot potato chips. I limited those to 10. Followed by a cream birthday cake that was a heart attack on steroids. I did pig out that night but the next day didn't feel hungry at all and ended up eating 600 calories less than my limit.

It there something about feast and famine - Is a feast meant to last you a few days?

I didn't beat myself up over it. That was one of the resolutions, I made when I started. I knew that falling off the wagon was a reason too often used for quitting. So I decided that this time I was going to enjoy my falls and enjoy my highs. I agree with other posters here that there is no point eating food that isn't of excellent quality.

Only the KFC I had that I felt extremely Ill after!

Sometimes I find feeling ill after consuming too much grease makes me realize that my body craves the healthy fuel and not the crappy fuel, so it helps drive me more
