I think you are making the right choice. in my opinion cheat days are a trap for addictions. You can treat yourself to healthy alternatives once in a while but eat anything mentality is what put many of us in trouble to begin with. &4 lbs is an accomplishment don 't cheat yourself!

I don't like negative words like cheat. I would be cheating myself. I seldom eat all of my goal calories but always above 1200. I eat a buffalo sirloin sometimes but still keep my goals. I shop at whole foods and watch my fat,sodium,cholesterol and sugar and find I can eat some very tasty satisfying meals without the…

No I don't because most of the time that adds sugar sodium and fat also. I believe the exercise burns off excess weight and it is counter-productive to eat just because.

I would take it and run if it was easy! I am losing weight slowly and steadily and it is the right way, first ten pounds (or more) could be toxins, excessisive water etc.

Have you tried Valerian root?

Marketing gimmicks are designed to trick people into buying a product. It is like making a greasy fat laden burrito adding nutrients and calling it the wow it has vitamins Burrito, it is still unhealthy. If you want a cookie eat it but beware of addictive ingredients.

You are so right my Mother was highly addicted to Diet cola and sugar etc. It cost her,her kidneys and then her life. I just had a Kidney stone (not from cola I don't drink it, for nine years now!) My problem came from uncontrolled stressors and wrong thinking patterns about how I was percieved by others. Now I am in…
