    Hot wings. I allow myself to eat junk every Saturday. I've been craving wings for about 3 weeks and just let myself have them for lunch. Going to need to go for a ridiculously good workout in order to have any calories available for dinner, but they were soooo worth it. :)

    Donuts.

    Haven't had one, not even a "hole" in over 4 months and I intend to stay away from them.

    That's my plan.

    boneless HOT WINGS & chinese take-out mmmmmmmmmmm love em! I rewarded myself with buffalo wild wings last night since I've managed to get my food intake under control in just a week of tracking food again... but then I stepped on the scale this morning and was up 2 lbs over yesterday and kind of felt guilty for treating myself... but it is acting as an extra motivational thing for me, I want to eat wings and chinese food, so I need to work out more so I can eat more calories cuz my dinner last night was pretty much my entire calorie limit for the day... luckily I was good for breakfast and lunch and worked out afterwards so even after splurging I was only about 200 calories over my goal for the day... which I think was pretty good all things considered =)

    Pizza and Beer. I still squeeze it in once in a while in moderation and stay under my cal limit. Usually involves an hour on the treadmill sometime in the day to build up a big buffer.

    Chocolate, I crave it all the time. It sucks but I need to learn to eat it in moderation.

    This. No need to cheat, because I don't restrict anything in the first place.

    I don't really have a favorite cheat food, but the other day I had a few chips with french onion dip (Just a few). When I want to cheat, I most often will have a peppermint patty. The are low in calories and I just love chocolate and mint. LOL

    You nailed it with the nachos and ice cream, i could eat both of those EVERY day and never get tired of it.

    I love salty, spicy and crunchy food. Put a bag of fritos and some horseradish dip in front of me and I'm a happy camper.

    Cookies or nachos. Depends on the day. And beer-any day!

    The other day, my kids wanted a treat, so I got them some Munchkins from Dunkin Donuts (i know, not the healthiest thing in the world, but my children are EXTREMELY healthy eaters and I allow them to splurge on occasion). I grabbed a few (4 total) and figured it wasn't THAT. I was horrified when I went to log my food for the day and saw that those 4 munchkins of death totalled a friggin 280 calories!!!!! I knew I'd "pay" for that little indulgence, but that grossed me out.

    Baked goods... cookies, muffins, cakes... it's hard to say no for me.

    I also try to save 100-200 a day to splurge on dessert after dinner, usually ice-cream or some chocolate. This way I don't get any cravings cause I don't restrict myself.
