My "Cheat Meals"

So, as any of you viewing my diary have noticed, I will have little cheats almost every day. A latte (nonfat, sugar free), a couple of pieces of tootsie rolls, half a serving of pretzels, ect.

However, I had a goal reward of when I got to 17.5% Body fat, I was going to pig out. Like, totally splurge. My meal was all planned out:

Breakfast: Sausage, 2 eggs, tons of hashbrowns with whole milk and orange juice.
Lunch: Wendys triple baconator, large shake, large fries
Dinner: Entire BBQ Chicken and Bacon pizza. By myself. With drinks.
Desset: Massive piece of cheesecake factory cheesecake.


And then... I got to 17.5% body fat... and didn't want it anymore. Sure, I had a little bit of cheating, but I didn't feel like pigging out. I felt like maybe ONE of those items, but definitely not all of them in one day. I am entirely sure I would probably die screaming on the toilet if I ate all that. So I didn't.

I no longer am looking forward to cheat meals. Sure, little cheats, but nothing like I was originally planning. Anyone else having this "problem"?

    Ooooo that sounds like food porn to me lol! Awesome that you met your goal too! I have cheats a few times a week too I will eat a light breakfast and lunch in order to eat at Wendys for dinner. I am also a big fan of taco bell's fresco tacos which are much better than the regular tacos calorie wise. It is all about balance and building it into your day I have found. :) You have to find room for some cheats otherwise you will break down and splurge all week long.

    True to an extent, but I try not to get it very often. I actually had McDs for the first time in like 2 months the other day, I felt like crap. Won't be doing that again. My body is definitely telling me it no longer likes fatty awful foods.

    It's so true that once you stop having those things you stop wanting them! And I find that if I do then afterwards I can actually feel really awful and more overweight than before I ate it! Even though that can't possibly be true if all I've had is a chocolate tiffin...like today :S

    Yes! I was so excited about Fathers day, I was going to have chips, and pop, and Boston Pizza....I ended up eating less then half my meal from the restaurant, and had a small bowl of chips. Normally I would have eaten half the bag through the day then had more for breakfast the next day.....I got up the next morning and threw them out. I did drink pop though. It was yummy.
