a couple of days ago I received some information on having a cheat day once a week while doing this new program. It sounds like a great idea but I have come to understand myself and realize that if I have a "cheat day" it could easily throw me off. What I have planned is to stick to the healthy eating but if I have an occasion that will be my cheat meal. I will not make a full day out of it. For example...a wedding on Oct 1st. Just going to the ceremony but I am sure the group of us will want to go out for supper after. I will enjoy a meal and hopefully not stress too much about it. I may even have 1 drink with the meal. Then I should be good until thanksgiving day. again I will enjoy my meal but get right back on track. I will eat healthy for all the other meals/snacks and make sure when I have the yummy meal I will watch my portions and make sure I stop when I feel satisfied. after that I don't think I have anything until the stag and doe I go too on oct 29th. again I will eat healthy all day and have a few drinks when I am out. I really need to stick with this so I will have success on this plan. This may be a good way to think in life too when I have lost all the weight that I need too. I won't restrict myself completely but I will make sure that when I do have a treat day/week that it isn't wasted on crappy junk food (chips, bars, cookies, trail mix etc). I want it to be on a nice meal out or something like that.
anyways that is my thought on cheat days :)
