So the past few weeks I've had cheats here and there even though my coach explicitly said not to cheat even once. I was traveling out of town for a wedding and stayed on plan most of the time but did have the champagne toast and a bit of cake and then another day had hot wings at a bar. This past week I ended up having 1 glass of wine and for Mother's Day was treated out for breakfast and had an omelet (with cheese) and bacon. I've mostly stayed on plan and my cheats are mainly fatty meats, cheese, or alcohol.

Despite all this, I lost more weight (6 lb) in the past 2 weeks than I did sticking to plan (only averaging about 2 lb a week). What are everyone's thoughts on a cheat here and there? Personally, staying on a plan for months without ever having a cheat doesn't seem sustainable. I don't have cravings for any of the cheats and am able to go back to being strictly on plan immediately afterward.
