    Went over my caloric goals... A pound of wings and beers with friends. I'm ok with a smaller weight loss this week. Iwalked away from donuts in the staff room all day.

    I'll cut a few more calories this week and grind a few more minutes of cardio every day. I've commited to a healthy lifestyle.

    I pledge to eat 1350 calories this whole weekend to the best of my ability.

    I will not cheat on my beloved Talenti with that naughty Klondike Bar.

    I don't really understand this cheating mentality. Weight loss isn't a test... how is going off plan, or not meeting your goals cheating? Or does it help some folks to feel like they can have a "cheat meal" every so often? I feel like those meals / days set folks up for failure, and promote an unhealthy relationship with food.

    I follow a ketogenic WOE and I had a cookie today. Blew my carbs out of the water in one snack. I'm not sorry. I wasn't cheating. I was participating in a family/school event.

    i never cheat on any weekend - does that count?

    +1

    During my first 16 weeks, when I was on a mission to get down to a certain point ... I didn't have a single solitary day where I ate more calories than I burned. No point. Eating more calories than I burned was not part of the plan.

    Then I took a one-month break where I didn't log and ate whatever I wanted (but exercised a lot). Some days I probably stayed within my calorie limit ... others not so much. :grin:

    And then I resumed the diet for another 16 weeks ... not a single day where I ate more calories than I burned.

    Since then I've been maintaining, so yes I do take planned non-logging weekends, and this is one of those. :) I had donuts yesterday. :grin:

    I swear I will not cheat.

    I will enjoy all available foods officially, conscientiously and enjoyably. :)
