As much as we all want to be healthy, we have those dark moments where we devour our favorite meal or snack or both... *Dramatic Music* Say your thing and hopefully we can be support each other afterwards.

    Every once in awhile on date night the boyfriend and I will (over)indulge in some cookie dough ice cream. No regrets.

    I have an entire day to cheat, its Sundays, and I get to have anything and everything I like, up to my calorie allowance. Rest of the time, macros rule what I eat. Has to be Tuna melt on sour dough bread, with Doritos

    Alcohol for me too. I can say no to food but the empty booze calories get me every time.

    Indian takeaway. It's not a cheat, because I allow for it, but it takes some allowing for on a 1250 allowance :). Hence it is a once in a while treat, rather than the once a week regular fixture it used to be.

    Always
    Worth
    It

    My "over-do it" meals are restaurant meals. As a general rule, I don't go into a restaurant and say "I'll just have a small salad." I just go for it and fix it later.

    And alcohol. There's that.

    I can't do that. I just feel bad when the day ends and then the day after.

    I agree the next day I feel bloated, and gross and my energy levels are down, but its worth it every once in a while, expecialy if I have been dieting to make weight, for a meet. That first bite of natella and pop tarts feels like cocaine... lol

    Favorite cheat meal: baby rack ribs, spicy/hot dry rub, slow roasted, a light hot/sweet sauce just at the end. And red wine. I don't really care for any sides, they just fill me up when I could be eating more ribs.

    Favorite snack - Yellow corn tortilla chips and fresh homemade salsa

    Being as today was my cheat meal, it was white IPA, a blue cheese mushroom bacon burger, sweet potato fries, and half an ice cream cake slice that was sitting in a bed of hot fudge with a cherry on top.

    So for today, that cheat meal was my favorite.

    Even though I'm all about moderating every type of food, the one thing I can't as much as I've tried is Hot Cheetos!! Or Takis!! Or the newest thing I've seen, a bag with a mix of both!! :yum: I've only seen the one big size bag, and I'll devour it all!!

    I'm so surprised people are picking alcohol. That's something I never crave or ever think of trying. I don't drink, so I guess why...
