I legit know the day im going to "cheat" For the next 3 months. To me. its not a cheat if im plannimg the day. Its not unexpected. And the next day im RIGHT back to it

Answer 2

There's no such thing, just be accountable. You will feel better in the end!  

Answer 3

It’s just food, if you bite it. write it

Answer 4

I’ve lost 60 pounds allowing myself to eat something here and there I want. I just get right back on it. if you never allowed yourself something you loved and wanted you couldn’t sustain this for the long haul. Most of the time you can save points for it if you want to. If you don’t that’s ok too. Pick yourself back up the next meal or the next day and get back on it. That’s how you win. If you keep “cheating” that’s how you lose. yourself again. I learned that the hard way many times ago. This time. I got this down pat

Answer 5

I do one every two weeks a cheat meal

Answer 6

Weeklies are for “cheating, ” not for using and then taking a cheat day on top of that.  

Answer 7

I have a cheat meal one or two times each week. I tend to do better overall and jot feel deprived.  

Answer 8

If you call it cheating you are telling yourself you are doing something wrong. Save weekly and rollovers for a special meal each week. It’s basic math.  

Answer 9

I am joining WW and am nervous about which one will fit me to loose faster.  

Answer 10

I’m working toward a LIFESTYE of eating, not a diet. So, I would say. for me . It’s not about “cheating” and more about if I trust myself . to stop. You know yourself, make your best decisions.  

Answer 11

Drop the idea of Cheat. It just reinforces diet/deprivation mentality. WW is about balance. Work indulgences into your plan

Answer 12

I call a "cheat" meal my "calorie bump" meal. I do this once a week in hopes to rev back up metabolism and keep my body guessing.  

Answer 13

I would want it to be a treat day.  

Answer 14

I have a treat day every weigh in.  

Answer 15

Cheating is diet mentality. Everything is a choice and trackable.  

Answer 16

I have a cheat day. I’m trying to make it a cheat meal but ends up a cheat day lol

Answer 17

I don't have a cheat day. I just eat something I normally wouldn't eat but I stay within my points.  

Answer 18

I have days when I eat more, using my weeklies. I believe they’re there so we don’t feel deprived and to make this doable. I try not to put any words like cheat on it because it’s just about living a balanced life and making informed choices. Which includes sometimes having things that are richer or sweeter or not as healthy

Answer 19

Depends on what works for your lifestyle and keeps you on the road to weight loss and good health.  

Answer 20

I’ve lost 65. 6 lbs and would not have without an occasional cheat day. I feel it’s better to take care of my craving and move on than want something so bad I completely go off program and don’t care

Answer 21

I try not too. I want to loose weight so I follow the program.  

Answer 22

I don't have a cheat day because the only one I'd be cheating is myself. However every week, I try to have one higher point meal, like an indulgent but even then I try to eat lower point foods the rest of the day. Example: yesterday 2 pt breakfast (3 hb eggs & 2 string cheese light) 3 pt lunch (salsa chicken 0 and 1/2 cup rice) and then a super delicious 17 point chicken philly from Jersey Mike's.  

Answer 23

I use weeklies for an indulgent day on the weekend.  

Answer 24

Yesterday we went to Pizza Hut for the buffet. I tracked my 4 slices of cheese pizza that went into my weeklies. If I had a totally cheat day, I would be out of control. Just use your weeklies for something good.  

Answer 25

Yep. Gotta have them days once in awhile. Or youll fail.  

Answer 26

I usually say no, but had my first one in two months this past weekend for a st pats breakfast. Was too much good stuff to pass up! Didn’t go crazy, but didn’t track. Got back on track the next day. One a week is def too much though in my opinion.  

Answer 27

You gotta live!  

Answer 28

I usually have whatever I want Monday nights after my weigh in. As long as I’ve lost that week. Then get back on track Tuesday morning

Answer 29

I always have a cheat day the day I weigh in. Lose every week.
