What is ur ok cheat???
We all need a allowed cheat!!! we need to know that we can have just a little of something and not take advantage of it!!! My ok cheat is a fun size snickers maybe 1 every 2 weeks or so i love snickers yum yum it seriously takes me like the whole day to eat it though ha ha i take nibbles here and there... so what do u allow urself to have every now and then please share
this should be interesting!!!!! Marie |
I like to cheat one day a week.. I think it keeps me honest :) But this weekend, my fiancee and I had fondue. chocolate with strawberries, marshmellows and banana.. OOHHH GODDDD it was soooo awesome. You know.. I like sugar free dark chocolate better than regular dark chocolate. I see no point in sugar in chocolate now days :) Also I cant do milk chocolate anymore.. too sweet lol.. who knew right
|
wow that whole fondue sounds sooooo good !!! sounds kinda romantic too im going to have to try that sometime!!!
wait my husband dosnet like sweets like at all (hes a freak i know ha ha ) but maybe he can make it for me !! marie |
I don't look at it as cheating, but keeping it in moderation. I don't have specific days, or items, or amounts. I just know what I've eaten in a day and whether or not I can really allow for something I want. If I didn't save room for it, I try to compromise. Like, instead of the Boston Cream donut, a small piece of dark chocolate will help with the sweet and chocolate cravings. ;)

yeah or you could do cheese.. lol its not chocolate but its still indulgent :) My fiancee was like.. " lets share a dessert later" I was like ok.. hmm he wanted a oreo fudge shake thingy and I was like lets do fondue with s.f. chocolate, and fruit and he was like *yeah* lol I think I might have saved some calories.. I cant be sure though

I budget calories one day every weekend, either Sat or Sun morning, for a 16 oz white mocha made with lowfat milk from my favorite coffee shop. Because a life without mochas is a life not worth living. And I figure once a week is a good amount. Not sure it's a *cheat*, since I know upfront that I get that once per week and bargain my calories around it, but...

I'm with almostheaven. Nothing is cheating--I don't think that way, 'cause who am I cheating? Everything counts. Like almostheaven, I know what I've been eating and whether I can have a food or not.
One treat food that I sometimes have the calories for is Ghirardelli 60% cocoa chocolate chips. 16 chips is 80 calories, and they provide a little bit of sweet (8 grams carbs--about equivalent to 2 teaspoons sugar) and really good quality chocolate. And, because I'm not a real chocoholic, I can stop with 16. Jay |

It sure is acceptable to me :) So I try to eat lots of whole, natural foods most of the time and every once in a while I will fit in some ice cream or chocolate kisses. I always fit them into my plan though, so I never think of it as cheating!

I also agree that I don't cheat-and I follow the 90/10 rule as well. I usually eat about 1500 calories a day, so I allow UP TO 150 calories for treat type stuff-and the rest as clean as possible. Yesterday, I had chocolate protein powder in pudding form, with a tablespoon of Cool Whip Lite. The protein wasn't actually a cheat-but the 20 calories of Cool Whip made it seem like it.
Some days I will go out to a restaurant, but I be careful on what to order, and consider that my "treat" for the day. Every now and then if DH and the kids want a fast food place, then I will get a veggie burger from Burger King, or a Fruit and Yogurt Parfait if they go to McDonalds or something-and I savor it. |
unsweetened chocolate, I place a square in the microwave and then put some sugar free syrup on it.... ummm it taste like cheating.
