Today I made spaghetti. This is like my all time fav food so just enjoyed it. I did still count my calories although I just ate however much I wanted. I just wanted to really enjoy my food a lil more today. I ate so ncu I went over my calories by quitte a bit. I don't normally do this so I am just calling it a cheat day. Do you have days like this?

    Of course! It's great for your metabolism to be shocked with a high-calorie day once in a while, it kicks it back into gear! Don't feel bad for enjoying foods you love. It will help you avoid a binge later! Denying yourself is never the answer :D

    I do exactly this to break plateaus.

    To the OP: don't sweat a day or two of badness. Just get back on the wagon and keep trucking.

    I totally agree with "shovav91"!!! Just don't let it get you off track for an extended period of time. One day isn't going to hurt ;-)

    Yes!

    Living in a 1200 calorie prison is unrealistic and makes me miserable! I trust that your spaghetti was awesome, I hope you enjoyed it, one day isn't going to throw you off track :)

    it is so lovely to see you guys supporting one another. I had a day like that a few days ago and felt bad but what you are saying about kicking metabolism off makes perfect sense

    Yes, it must happen! Log it! Its okay if you are over on carbs-it is ONE DAY ! As mentioned b/f...or else you will just binge- and you don't want this! I've had this-you don't want this ! (You Don't mess with the Zohan)
