    I treat myself with items that aren't food.

    I never "plan" cheat days or meals exactly- but if I know I am going out for a meal at a restaurant, or I am going to my folks for a couple of days I will give myself a break and either exercise more to make up for it, or make sure I get back on the wagon straight after. It stops me having those feelings I used to have like I had "blown" it.

    I think it would be a bad idea if I decided every Friday was a "cheat day" for example. Like someone else says it's just life sometime.

    I just came back from holiday where I probably drank my bodyweight in cocktails each night- not healthy at all but lets just say it was a "cheat" five days lol When I got home I stopped drinking any alcohol and started eating my calorie allowance again, and when I weighed myself today (a couple of days after I came home) I hadn't put on any weight. It's good to know it can be done once in a while without any serious damage- u just have to make sure you don't let it all go out of the window because of a few indulgences.

    If you was SERIOUSLY over weight, then once a month would be adequate. As you are not over weight, once a week or at best once a fortnight would surfice for you.

    I honestly hate females who think that they are overweight when they are not. Most of their problems are pyschological.

    You are a beautiful woman and should be happy with your size.

    Personally I am 9 stone, always have been all my life, never really shifting, for us blokes, women tend to go for big bad boys. Either fat or muscle. They want someone to protect, I am already a bad boy, but just want the meat to go with it.

    Just please do not lose too much weight so that you go into anorexic stage.

    Personally for me, big girls are beautiful, give me a 16/18 dress size any day.

    I don't cheat as such. If I know I'm going to want something that will take me over my cals I try very hard to make sure I do extra exercise to earn it!!

    That's what i'm saying. Make yourself earn it!

    I give myself a "splurge day" every 4 weeks on a Saturday. I generally eat one meal that is a favorite but too high in fat/calories to be something I eat on a regular basis. I say it's a "day", but usually it's just one meal. I do go over my calories for the day and I do log my food that day. Today was "splurge day" and I not only had a splurge meal at lunch, but I also picked up a new shirt on sale at the mall. Double splurge!! - But only one made me go over my calorie goal. :smile:

    I weigh in on a Friday so generally that is my "cheat day" however like someone else mentioned, it's a lifestyle change. I find that being good all through the week and having a bit of something naughty at the weekend is really working for me. My issue before is that every day was a cheat day!

    That is exactly what got me here haha EVERYDAY was a cheat day, well not anymore!

    Thank you for being so kind but trust me, I AM, overweight, sometime I carry it well and people would not know I am the weight that I am. I am more concerned with feeling good, looking good and being healthy. I would NEVER lose too much weight. I am not the kind of girl who wants to be "Model Skinny" I always say "I would rather be fat than TOO skinny"

    I have a cheat day once every week. Keeps me from binging randomly throughout the week.

    This is excellent.

    I don't cheat because I do as I please and I lose it with ease.

    i try to keep it to a cheat meal and a cheat dessert on the same day!! I start the day off with my normal breakfast...then eat my fave meal (either Mexican or Italian) for dinner followed by a dessert from that restaurant or a blizzrd from DQ!!! I do this every Thursday and can be anywhere from 1000-2500 cals OVER my 1200 cal goal for the day!! I try to stay somewhere in the middle of that range if I can at all help it :)
