I can't let myself have a "cheat day" because rather than eating a reasonable number of calories for such a day (what would you say, 2000-2500 calories once a week?, the rest of the week cycling 1400-1700 calories) I go overboard and use it as an excuse to eat waaaaay too much junk food. Instead I try to have a day I might call a "higher calorie" day of 2000-2200 calories, usually on the weekend. Often I end up slipping a day or two anyway, eating too much, and trying to eat at the bottom of my calorie range the rest of the week to repent. Even after losing all this weight I still have bad eating habits. They are the bane of my existence. *dramatic sigh*
