    Try looking at it a different way. Build those lovelies into your everyday life, but in smaller doses. You'll soon not see them as forbidden treats to binge on and you'll find you will be satisfied on less of them.

    Also, get the best quality you can afford and savour every sip and nibble.

    As a former food hoover I've managed to avoid these guilt traps. Oh and I still have big exercise days where I just eat everything I want, but it seems to be naturally more moderate because I have the foods I love in my every day life.


    ditto. I eat what I want as long as it fits in my calories and macros.
    I agree. Treat day (for me anyway) is another term for binge. I try to build my treats into my day to day calories and I find I eat less of them this way.

    Morf....JMO, but I think that waiting for a whole 20 pounds gone to treat yourself is just going to set you up for failure! Maybe allow yourself a small treat on the weekend, to give you something to look forward to after working so hard and being so good all week!

    Sandy, thanks. I am the kind of person that eats one bad thing, and then follows it up with another,and before i know it, I am off the rails. I think everybody is different. For me personally, when I stay focused, and committed, I stay on track and make good progress without cheats, my goal is to stay on that path

    Well, good for you that you are that disciplined to know better! I myself find that too overwhelming! You know...like the old saying that there is light at the end of the tunnel, lol......BUT I have to say on my journey to get fit and lose weight...my idea of a cheat day/meal has DRASTICALLY changed!
