    Today!
    work brought in huge Cinnamon Buns - but I was good and only had half of one
    then for lunch my boss and I went for Vietnamese - Fresh Spring Rolls and Deep Fried Spring Rolls and a bowl of War Wonton Soup. It was heaven!
    Then tonight my hubby and I are getting together with some friends and are having more Vietnamese - this time I am getting the Vermicelli Bowl with pork and, you guessed it, another spring roll.

    Love, love, LOVE Spring Rolls!

    I like the IIFYM approach. Even the "best" foods can be included. I can have anything I want if it fits into my calorie and macro goals. A true cheat day/meal for me would be eating something that causes me to NOT meet my goals for the day. When I do that, there is nothing good about it. :( It would be the "worst" cheat day if I were to describe it.

    I've never had a cheat day, nor do I ever plan on having one. I have become so in love with healthy good, and being fit I just don't crave those 'bad' foods anymore. Maybe it's just me. :(

    I felt like that at the beginning...that all changed

    What was your best cheat meal you have ever done?

    The best cheat meal i have ever done was 2 months ago (probably the worst one to this day) was I once ate a whole Large Hawaiian Style Pizza, 2 Bluemoon Beers, and 3 large chocolate chip cookies. It felt great at the time, but not so much a few hours later.

    OMG...this sounds sooooo good. I'm gonna eat an entire Spinach and Feta pizza today...1200 calories...AND..a slice of Deutsche Kuche Chocolate Covered Marble Pound Cake.

    Hooorayyy for Cheat Day....the food kind anyway :-)

    well this thread doesn't apply to you. i don't think being fit and being in love with "healthy food" means that you never again eat indulgent things.

    Maybe I will one day, but right now it's something that I really don't miss. It's quite strange,actually, but I love it. I know it doesn't apply to me, but it doesn't mean I can't respond.

    For a triple birthday:

    http://www.lumaonpark.com/ (menu changes a lot, so the below may not be on it)

    bottle of prosecco, two martinis, steak tartare with truffle french fries and soft boiled deep fried egg, scallops with risotto and crispy pancetta, brown butter brussels sprouts, and chocolate mousse with chocolate ice cream and chocolate shavings.

    I had walked a few miles at a mall earlier, but it was SO FREAKING WORTH IT.

    I would love to have a cheat day, but I cant. My stomach will not allow it, and neither will I. But I would like to. If I did I would surely get sick and feel like dying. I am post-op 1 month hence the reasoning.

    I had one last week that consisted of buffalo wings and a bazillion beers. Tomorrow will be another bazillion for the Jimmy Buffett show.

    I think my best cheat day will be today - I am going to a Mexican place called Mi Pueblo. I am going to eat the chips and salsa and then order the Al Pastor plate which is some kind of shredded pork marinated in this wonderful chili sauce. Full of crack, I am just sure of it. Topped with avocado and sour cream - YUM!!! I may even eat the tortillas, rice, and beans.

    Many of these cheats sound like binges to me. How is that a healthy mindset as a reward?

    last weekend we were invited to a special soft opening of a new Irish bar in town. Spring was in the air and I decided to enjoy myself. I had a cheese burger, potato wedges, 2 Duppel beers and Guiness silk pie. I didn't eat it all but OMG it was good. It put me over the number of calories I burned that day and I had done extra exercise knowing we were going.

    Chipotle steak burrito with extra cheese, a whole bag of their yummy chips and salsa, mmmm! That is like 1200 calories right there in one meal, lol!

    I go to Chipotle most weekends and have some good light meals there if you're interested. Mostly consist of a burrito bowl with brown rice, but I can even fit some chips in if I split the burrito bowl in 1/2

    Yeah. I love Chipotle!

    Mine is usually the same...a thickburger from Hardees. I can't afford it very often, so it's like a bag of heaven when I get it!

    What is the difference between a cheat and a binge? Actually asking, no snark here.
