The BATTLE of "cheat meals" that turn into "CHEAT DAYS!"

Firstly... I am not a personal trainer (yet) nor a nutritionist. Anything mentioned in my posts are stickily my ideas, comments and guidelines. Thanks!

I have read many blogs and comments on other sites from people in the "fitness world" supporting "cheat meals" once a week. So I do this regularly on Tuesdays when we have a couples group meeting at church. Yes it's great... I eat a small portion of whatever's on the menu and then DESSERT!!! I look forward to this day mostly for the DESSERT!!! And surprisingly when I weigh myself on Wednesday mornings I am always down a few pounds, which makes life even better!

HOWEVER... I can't get my mentality out of "CHEAT" mode after my cheat meal... So I struggle for days and even sometimes the rest of the week! It feels like torture. So as I mentioned above I usually loose weight after my cheat meal, which is GREAT, but then if I continue to cheat off my food plan the weight comes right back on by the end of the week... and that is NOT so great! So I am not going to call it a cheat meal anymore. I am going to attempt to trick myself by now calling Tuesday night dinners my "Booster Meal." This meal usually consists of more calories, carbs and sugars than I usually take in during meals on my meal plan. All this added "stuff" tricks my body and BOOSTS my metabolism, causing me to drop weight. And that makes me one HAPPY GIRL! In addition I will not have booster meals all week because the booster meal only works once a week!

WISH ME LUCK!

p.s. I had a great "Booster Meal" last night.... About 1 1/2 cups of mixed greens with fat free Italian dressing, 2 slices of GLUTEN FREE pizza from Pizza 575 that had chicken & mushrooms on it, and for DESSERT I had 2 AMAZING chocolate chip cookies! DE-Li-ciouS!!!
