Cheat meal? Who did you cheat? Why not think of it as a TREAT meal. It only happens every now and then, and that's fine. You're still losing at a pretty fast rate - five pounds in two weeks when you're only in the mid 150s is not really sustainable. It might even explain the desire to go off the rails and have that treat meal. General guidance is to aim for no more than 0.5% to 1.0% of your weight per week, and more towards the lower end if you don't have much to lose. That would be less than a pound a week for a good goal. Just think about it. You get to decide!

Hey mtaratoot!

I gained 20 pounds in a very short time due to a poor attitude of "oh my ankle is broken and i can't work out i might as well drink and eat like a slob too"
I'm only losing weight so fast because I went from drinks, burger king and not moving to drinking water, eating healthy and working out like I use to. I'm not doing anything extreme or dangerous, i just move and eat like I should. Weight usually comes off fast in the very beginning for anyone when they make a big healthy change. It's usually around 130 that it gets a bit harder for me to get the weight off but that’s okay. I went through this a few years ago and shed 20 pounds in 2 1/2 months everyone was worried when I literally just changed my eating habits and started some cardio (I was always a runner). People see the weight 150 and think "that's not heavy" sure I guess opposed to someone who weighs 250 it’s not, but I’m only 5'3 and look and feel my best at 120/125 so 150 is not a healthy weight at all to me. Some people don’t feel the weight as badly as others, at 160 I could barely get up the stairs. I was 120 until i hit 30 then I gained it and got back down until the ankle break story.

I still choose the word cheat meal because I did cheat myself. I ate to the point of feeling uncomfortable. I could have stopped at half the amount, but I couldn’t take it (long car ride) and didn’t want to waste it. next time I will ask if I can half the portion and that will make it a treat meal.

04/14-181.2-(Trend Weight: 181.4)- While I did pretty well in February, March was not a good month for me and April (so far) is not faring any better. My hunger has been outrageous, my cravings have been horrendous. I think my body is fighting the losses I had in the months prior. I have a serious lack of exercise going on due to the severe foot problem. It’s s..l..o..w..l..y getting better so I am hoping I can incorporate a little more movement this week. Lots of travel this week for some important medical appointments. One appointment is an 8 hour round trip. I will try to get some movement in on the days that I can. Weather got bad again with some snow this past week but is slowly improving now at weeks end in northern Michigan. I saw a Robin yesterday.

04/21- -My meals have been great. My exercise is still almost non-existent as I am probably “over-babying” the foot right now. My snacks have been over-the-top. I ABSOLUTELY can very easily over-eat (or binge) on my approved low calorie/low carb foods. So everything I ate yesterday was healthy and to-plan. Just too much of it. Part hunger, part food obsession/binge disorder. I’ve got to get a grip. What causes these binges to creep up? What happened this time? The foot injury and inability to exercise? The cancer scare? The renovation and the mess and turmoil in my daily life it causes? Life has challenges, fears, stresses. I am trying really hard not to cope with food and emotional eating. It’s a battle in itself. I’ll try harder to put out the fires tonight, that’s all I can do.
