I've been doing super well on eating healthy while still having my one cheat day of the week. That day was supposed to be Saturday. Well, I've already had most of my calories for the day (including the ones I burned off exercising, which I never eat back) and I still want to eat the whole kitchen! The problem was all the free food that was on campus today. How do you say no to free food? And how do you motivate yourself when you get home and all you want to do is devour EVERYTHING in sight?

    Go out. To somewhere where there is no food. Take a long park walk. Or etc.

    You can do it!

    If my need to eat the whole kitchen is so bad that no even a cup of tea, a glass of water or a cup of coffee can't fix it, I attack all the fruit I can find. That way I eat a lot, but the calories don't go to h*** that badly, besides, although in excess everything is bad, at least that's very healthy food.

    You are not starving on a daily basis, are you? Why would free food be such a big deal then? Just say know and eat whatever you had planned for the day....As for being hungry now, drink a protein shake, it works for me- for both real hunger and cravings.....

    you can do this.. just remember why you started eating right in the first place.

    I drink copious amount of crystal light water. All the different flavors usually let me enjoy it long enough that I can overcome cravings while not damaging my progress.
