People always ask me do I allow my self a cheat day to reward myself for the hard work on this health journey.. My reply is yes but I don't dedicate an entire day to cheating, instead I only allow myself a cheat meal. So let's say I plan to go have Sunday dinner, that would be considered a cheat meal rather than having a cheat day. I feel that to have a cheat meal instead of a day, that you are more likely to stay focused than rolling that cheat day into the next few days. Many times we can get easily off track and this should be avoided given that we have many goals and dreams that we are determined to accomplish. So this is something to keep in mind when you have cheat days, also you are less likely to gain any weight if you do cheat meals because your body can fight out small portions of bad eating habits rather than larger portions. Another thing to keep in mind is that my cheat meals are usually from a couple slices of pizza to my favorite sweets or that Sangria (wine) that I've been craving. Always remember to continue to watch your portions and this doesn't mean you have to totally pig out. You should still be aware of these things because you do not want to make yourself get sick, trust me this sometimes happens. It's partly because we have adopted a new lifestyle so your body isn't used to those bad eating habits anymore.
Yesterday I enjoyed my cheat meal for dinner. A friend and I split a pizza from Jet's. But I only made it through 3 of my 5 slices before I began to get full. So I gave the rest to mother as her cheat meal for the week. ;)
