    Since when did you get to steal my thoughts and use them as a title????

    You will get plenty of advice, far better than mine.....
    In the meantime, if you going to do it, then you CAN..............if you can't no shame there either. sometimes we just expect too much of ourselves too soon....

    You don't need to eat "clean" to lose weight or get healthy. Can you deal with eating 1-2 cookies or will you just binge out the whole box?

    1. The idea of clean eating gets people excited here, be sure you understand what it is and why you are doing it. To lose weight it is not needed.
    2. The idea of having a cheat day after you have made yourself miserable all week sounds like a disaster.
    3. You should be looking at a lifestyle change, which you can sustain.

    I found it really hard to cut out the bad food in the beginning, but you get used to it. Alot of it is unappealing or doesn't taste as good anymore now. Give it time. I was also a 2-cookies-becomes-a-whole-box eater, now I can actually eat two cookies and stop.

    Your profile headline is "fat and depressed", yet you feel like you can make snarky comments towards some one for not following your methods of weight loss?
    There are many different weight loss approaches, eating clean is one, simply counting calories (which I'm assuming you were referring to) is another. Neither is more or less right than the other, its all about finding what works for you. So consider that before you spew your negativity next time, because obviously you're not so happy with your own progress therefor you are in no position to condemn OP.
    Have a nice day.

    How is that helpful? :neutral:

    Anyway, like tigger says I guess it's a lifestyle change. If you have a 'cheat day' that's like rewarding yourself with food, which will probably make you want it all the more. Maybe it would be better to try and incorporate 1-2 cookies into day to day life rather than having a binge day. Yes that will need willpower if you tend to not be able to resist the whole box, but once you get used to it it will be more sustainable than 6 day denial/ 1 day binge. Just my two cents :) Good luck

    Yup. What is "cheat day" going to look like, exactly? You think opening a box of cookies would be bad now? Just wait until you've done this to yourself all week and then suddenly have "permission" to eat whatever you want.

    personally, i've found a lot of success incorporating some of these treats and "junk" food into my diet. i try to have them after i've had my actual meal, so i'm not tempted to fill up on the snack.

    it'll require some (lots) of discipline to be able to serve yourself two cookies and not go back to the package.
