Do you allow yourself a treat everyday or less than that?

I tend to save my cookies and desserts for the weekend (cause I bake on the weekend), but during the week my something sweet on most days is oatmeal. It sounds stupid but you can put ANYTHING in it. Nutella/coconut=mounds. peanut butter/nutella=reeses. the oatmeal fills me more then a chocolate bar would and it's probably the same amount of calories cause you can put as much of the topping as you want. That being said, if you want a cookie then have a cookie. Cause if you don't then your craving will just go into hiding and then when it comes out angry.....you'll eat ALL THE COOKIES! so have some cake or chocolate if you want it.

When it fits and I really want something I will have a little bit. It doesn't tend to be daily unless I am stressed.

I hit my calorie goals and I hit my macros...I get my vitamins and minerals and requisite proteins and fats and then I eat whatever I want so long as I hit all of those other goals. Having a "treat" or not having a "treat" is meaningless to your weight loss.

Get your nutrition on and hit your calorie goals...and then go have some jelly beans. You don't get extra credit for more broccoli.

You can't cut it out because that leads to binge eating, but try to make good choices. Instead of peanut butter I use chocolate peanut better but I eat it on 2 rice cakes (under 300 cal total) but that would be my breakfast. Laughing cow desserts are also a good option. I make a batch (2dozen) of cookies for my kids I only bake 6 at time time (so we each get one) and freeze the rest of the dough to use at a later date. Don't deprive yourself just be mindful

I personally can`t have a treat per day because one brings another one, then another one.... So I try to keep it for special occasions and not 2 days in a row. Anyway right now I care more about losing weight then eating treats, so I don`t really miss them.

I put half a serving of chocolate chips (35 cals) … 1/4 serving of Chocolate Fiber One cereal (20 cals) … and a serving of Chocolate instant pudding mix (35 cals) in my egg white oats every morning. There's also protein powder and a few other nutritious things in there to balance it out. It's the perfect treat, and a great way to start my day Needless to say, i always look forward to breakfast. Check my diary if you need any ideas.

I have plenty of treats, but not daily. I guess it depends on your definition of treat. I think of things that I need to have only occasionally, like a piece of cake or pie or a Starbucks drink, because of the high calorie content. I often have chocolate and sweets, though.

As long as it fits in your calorie intake then you shouldn't make such a big deal out of it. It's alright if you're always on the go (study/work/exercise all day) like I am because I always do swimming in the morning, 1-3 hours spent at uni, 5-8 hours on average working at the restaurant and then 1-2 of gym in the evening. I wouldn't recommend it on a rest day.

I deal with the same thing and I always crave something with sugar , but I learned not to completely cut out foods that you love otherwise you will end up overeating it later. If I want cookies or hot chocolate, then I have it. I make sure to have a small amount and I make sure I don't go over my calories. If there's a chance I will go over calories then I make sure I exercise more during the day. There's no reason you should completely cut out foods if you love them.

I stopped looking at foods as good and bad, and then looking at the bad food as treats. Food is food. I eat what I want as long as it fits into my calorie goal. I'm recovered from an ED, and part of that was learning that I can't treat food like it's a reward system. That's what has worked for me in the past in loosing weight (unfortunately medication weight gain, illness that lead to me stopping exercise, then inertia/no desire to bother to start again once I saw I had gained 30lbs got me to put the weight back on), so I'm sticking with it this time around as well. I generally eat pretty healthy anyways, though I do tend to have a cookie a day, because I love cookies, and it fits into my daily goal.
