    I think a break like that is good for you! Enjoy! You probably won't be able to eat as much as you think, since your stomach has probably shrunk!:bigsmile:

    I will say I log everything, even when I have treat meals. It's hard and even when I feel no guilt it still sucks seeing the red numbers, but I really believe in the logging system no matter what.

    That said, yes, I am having a treat tomorrow...Cherry Chip cake with cherry buttercream frosting for dessert after dinner...I can't wait! I have a friend who makes cakes :) It's in the fridge now, I almost died smelling it when I picked it up from her earlier! Mmmmm :)

    enjoy yourself....but just a warning, I have done this a couple of times, but now that I'm not used to eating like I used to, it makes me almost sick....

    I'll second that. Enjoy yourself. But keep the pepto handy.

    Nope. Found other ways to reward myself. Pressing on ... but have a nice Valentine's Day!

    Maybe it's just me, but I never plan cheat days like this. I do believe in moderation. Any of my MFP friends can see my diary and how I have whatever I want - but I have a very small amount of it. It works better for me that way. Last year I would have indulged in something and ended up eating too much of a good thing. As long as it fits in my calorie count for the day, I have a small bit.

    Enjoy your feast !!!
    :heart: Happy Valentines Day :heart:

    Nope....it's me too. I really don't cut anything OUT of my diet. It would drive me crazy if I couldn't eat something I really wanted. It works for me. Moderation and more exercise have worked for me.

    But....to each his/her own. To the OP and everyone else.....Happy Valentine's Day! Enjoy your day!

    "You should be ashamed of yourself" button that would automatically add in 5,000 calories for the day. ;)

    Love this idea!! have been times i have just added 2000 calories and put in food notes "no idea how much I ate, just way too much" :-)

    I will have one of those days next Tuesday (literally Fat Tuesday) when my friends are in for Mardi Gras. I plan on eating gumbo, rice, home brew, vodka, beer, lattes, etc. I behaved throughout the holiday season because I know I would much rather indulge for Mardi Gras :D

    I think I got lost somewhere or maybe I am in the wrong place. I have never condoned cheating as we only cheat ourselves. I am worth more then that. You gotta do what is right for you. Have fun!

    I'm also a logger, good or bad. Sure I may go back and feel guilty but I at least I'll KNOW what I've done so I know what I need to DO. I think a stress free day is good, but maybe log it all on Wednesday so there are no surprises next time you weigh. To me, logging is the best way to track what I'm doing and how my body is responding. But I'm also only 7 lbs in (on MFP) so maybe you've got yours figured out a little better and can "afford" a no-log day.

    Hell yeah! I am all over that.

    Planned spike day! Re-feed day! Cheat day!

    Call it what you will. Regardless, it will be glorious.

    I'll probably log it, but not care about the number I end up with. I just like to log it.

    I asked my fiance to cook me dinner, so we will be having steak w/ a baked potato & asparagus. He told me if he does get me chocolates they will be the skinny cow candy I like. :heart:

    I'm sure I'll be over my daily calories and thats okay. It's definitely a better choice than going out to eat and getting who knows what!

    I'm making him a cheese basket, which I'm sure I'll help him eat at least a little bit of it :wink:

    That is the one thing I'm worried about... I got fried mozzarella sticks a couple weeks back and felt awful (nauseated) for hours afterwards. I guess my body is used to eating healthy now, which is great, but could present a problem for my plan to feast, haha.

    Good points but let me add a bit of advice. I wouldn't look at the scale for the next 7 days because you might not like what you see. I have done this before and found how quick it takes add 4 pounds pack like over night!

    Nah, my day off from tracking was yesterday. =) Then again, I don't have any Valentine's plans other than watching hockey by myself, hahaha.

    Having an occaisional splurge is not horrible for you. Even if you aren't tracking (I don't on my day off) I would still try to get in a good workout and make sure to drink lots of water to offset some of it. Enjoy your date! =)

    All water weight! You don't gain 4lbs of fat in a week unless you've eaten 14000 cals over maintenance. That number is irritating (it happens to me too), but lots of water and green tea and a few days later and it will be gone again.

    Oh - I so want to get some gooey chocolates, but - they don't have the 'good' store in the town I live. Hubby and I have both been changing our eating habits so He is making dinner and I am in charge of dessert. That and a bottle of wine and hoping a quiet evening together.

    Have fun and enjoy your planned 'pigout' day. You probably won't eat near as much as you think, if you haven't been eating that way recently, your tummy will yell at you!!!

    Cheese basket? That's sounds amazing. When I began reading this thread I was saying no I'm being good, then my friend who makes divine cakes messaged and said I'm baking tomorrow will drop you a treat off for you and the partner for valentines... Couldn't say no really could I? X

    No I have no intentions on doing that tomorrow.. It's okay to have a day off, it's okay to splurge but remember you are on a journey. We're not here because we "like" food, we're here because we "love" it! Everything can be enjoyed ~ in moderation. Okay eat Italian, but maybe order something with a little less carbs, calories side salad to help you get full quicker. A cupcake okay but not cupcake(s).

    FYI my valentine's dinner is grilled salmon, organic corn, with a salad. I asked my hubby to fix that instead of us going out and eating unhealthy....

    Enjoy your dinner!
