    Good job. Ice cream is my weakness. Especially the pure pure form. Yummmy.

    Yup, I do this too. I find I do better if I limit the days I eat sugar. I tend to eat healthier, and my cravings for sugar are greatly reduced when I just avoid it during the week. Although I don't call it my "cheat day," since I still work to keep it within my calorie goals. It's my "sugar day." :# That being said, I'm making cream cheese sugar cookies right now!

    I too have noticed if I don't eat lots of " un natural" sugar I crave it. Our bodies know.

    Every Friday while I was losing, only if I lost weight. Now, it's as long as I haven't gained.

    How does your S.O. feel about that betrayal of trust? :(

    Maybe OP gets a 'hall pass' to have a scoop of ice cream? Congrats on cheating! Hopefully there's a way you incorporate ice cream into whichever day you want it in the future?

    I think at some point you have to have a cheat day once in awhile or you'll A) go crazy and B) end up binging and have a hard time getting back on track.

    Not if you can just develop a mindset that eating food is not 'cheating' at all. Work on staying under your calories and fitting what you enjoy into that day/week.

    I get a cheat hour. From the time I deposit my check on Friday until I get on the train to visit my parents. I always get a handful of licorice allsorts, chips and guacamole, and a margarita. Sometimes it varies but in that one hour I get carte blanche.

    Feb has been cheat month! But its still amounting to 2 steps forward and 1 step back. So I'm ok with that.

    I cheat too. I'm doing Atkins, so low carb. Once a week I enjoy a half-sweet mocha..yum (ton of carbs from the milk and chocolate)! It doesn't derail me and I sooo enjoy it
