I overindulged yesterday and oh, boy, am I paying for it this morning! My stomach is so upset it's not even funny. I hadn't eaten any candy or sweets in a month, and yesterday I had candy and cake:sick:
Is this my body's way of telling me to stay on the wagon? I won't be having a "cheat day" like that again any time soon!

    :sad: I feel your pain! Whereas I am just starting this plan, I feel guilty when I have that candy bar or regular soda. I had a cookie the other day and went into depression because I knew it would ruin me. But thankfully whereas I didn't gain any weight, I didn't lose any either.

    I don't think it would hurt you if you endulged as a treat for doing so good. Just don't make it a weekly habit!! LOL

    THIS IS WHAT A CHEAT DAY IS ALL ABOUT!!!!!!:happy:
    You eat the foods you feel like you've been depriving yourself of and then realize Ugghhh Never want that again. I started out this way and now my cheat day consist of eating the healthy foods (I don't pay attention to portion size) because that's what my body "craves"

    Cheat day?? Never thought of having one of those. But really I have been having one at least once a week!! Now I am going to put it on my calendar to remind myself that it is never wrong to splurge, just do it with a little common sense. :drinker:

    I totally know what you mean. When I indulge myself in something that I shouldn't be eating, it's like my body rejects it. It makes my stomach upset and I end up in the bathroom for about 20 minutes. I don't know if it is because we have trained our bodies to have different foods now or what, but mine does the same thing.
