Do you have a cheat day or something similar?
I won't have a cheat day where I get to pig out all day (because then I'd be obsessing for the following week) but if I do extra well one week, I will allow ONE treat/exception.
Other than that, no treats ever. I know there are varying thoughts on this, but for me, this is what works best.
what about you?

Re: Do you have a cheat day or something similar?
I have a cheat meal. It's a day where I eat my regular meals and then for dinner I have something bigger and a dessert. I was so afraid of this but it is completely helping me!! It is totally nutritionist approved!

Re: Do you have a cheat day or something similar?
When I was losing weight, I did not allow any cheats. I made wise choices (still do) and omitted alcohol.
I set rules for myself. Like if i was to have cookies, they had to be homemade (not store homemade, either, LOL) and on a special occasion. Cake only on a family member's birthday and even then I often made my own desert.
Now, I do have so-called cheats, (like sweets) but I am still selective about that.

Re: Do you have a cheat day or something similar?
I weigh in on Saturdays and those are my days I allow myself to go "off".
Im a bit more careful on Sundays, but, M-F I try to be really on the program (WW).
I feel even better weighing in on Saturdays and not having to worry about going out and facing weigh in on Sunday.
I basically *enjoy* my weekends.

Re: Do you have a cheat day or something similar?
I usually have a cheat meal once a week. If I didn't, I would get super cranky and probably ruin all my efforts by going on a binge. (I did this a few weeks ago on a camping trip. It was NOT pretty!) For example, last night my husband and I got slices of pizza. I got a whole wheat slice and ate half of another slice. I had my pizza with some steamed veggies and I didn't feel too bad about it. It was super delish and satifying! When I got up and weighed myself this morning, there was no difference in weight.
You have to allow yourself cheat days every once in awhile

Re: Do you have a cheat day or something similar?
not a whole cheat day, but i did one "cheat meal" a week when i was really trying to lose weight. and by cheat meal, that could be dinner at a restaurant, or it could just be mom's home-cookin (which is never healthy for me lol) i would work my week around that one meal, whenever i had plans etc and i would be very strict the rest of the week. once i lost the weight i wanted, i went up to 2 cheat meals per week. i did that for probably a year or so, as i've been trying to just maintain my weight. but recently i noticed i gained 6lbs so, it's back to being strict for a while until i get back down to where i was.

Saturdays and/or Sundays usually. Yesterday I had two biscuits with breakfast and Froyo Cherry Garcia. I gained a pound back from Friday to this morning. It's always worth it to me, and keeps me from denying myself constantly and then pigging out on things that are even worse!

Re: Do you have a cheat day or something similar?
On ww I give myself 1 day of no tracking. But don't use that an opportunity to pig out and go crazy. Just a break from the counting really...

This is me too. Usually either Sat or Sun I don't really count my points. I don't go crazy but I don't count every single thing.
