I LOVE IT TOO!!! Welcome!!! I used to sorta have a cheat day, where I didn't count everything, but did't go overboard either, but then I started dropping weight and was so encouraged that I didn't want to go over. If I exercise a lot or do lots of activities, I don't worry about it too much. I don't feel deprived at all and I feel like I eat A LOT! I cut out all of the processed foods and junk and I don't even crave it anymore! AMAZING!!!
Good luck!0 -
I try to treat myself a little once a week. Monday through Thursday I usually eat salad for lunch. Friday I have been going out for a couple slices of pizza. If I go out for dinner, I try to focus more on portions than what I order. The last two restaurant meals I had resulted in me bringing half of the entree home.0

Some do, some don't.
For me, it is hard to look at it like a lifestyle change if I feel the need to "cheat." That's not to say there are not days I go over--it is just not regular or something I plan to do.
It would also seem that if you are taking a cheat day that you will need to be super diligent the rest of the week. A better compromise might to be to have a weekly cheat meal instead of a cheat day.0 -
If you mean " Break Days" as in not working out, yes we at least need time for our bodies to recover. I'm new also I think that's right.
I also try to splurge every now and then, as long as I stay within my caloric boundaries.
Glad you're here.
