Do you log "cheat days"?

I try to log everything and I build in "fun" foods into my everyday diet, so I don't schedule cheat days. If I have a day when I want to just really enjoy a meal with friends or family, I do. I log it, I recognize it was an off day, I don't make it a habit, and I move on. This isn't a diet. This is a lifestyle. Some days it is easy to be sensible, some days it is not. You log it, acknowledge it, and move on.

I log everything even if I chance going over.

Log it, you might see you weren't as bad as you thought!

And what is a cheat day? I really and honestly don't understand what people really means by that because, in my opinion and according with the definition of "cheat," it doesn't apply to a diet.

1) to deprive of something valuable by the use of deceit or fraud

2) to influence or lead by deceit, trick, or artifice [/quote]


I do occasional 'cheat days' or 'cheat meals'. For me, these are the rare day that I am celebrating something special with family and friends. I'm maybe having two or three drinks, we are eating stuff that would take a massive amount of time to try and figure out. People do whatever works best for them. There are certainly times when I simply want to relax and enjoy myself without all the hassle of dissecting it. I'm simply not that obsessive. If it works for others to absolutely NEVER eat something that is off the diet plan, more power to them. I allow myself an occasional day when I am off the clock, so to speak. It doesn't make a lot of difference in the long-run. I can make up for it with more exercise or cutting back for the next few days.
