i rarely have a cheat meal...at most i do it once a month and I'll have 1 or 2 slices of pizza (which is barely a meal when you consider my buddies are there eating 4 or 5 slices)....i never have entire cheat days.....not because i i have some great will power or anything like that but more becasue i feel WAY to guilty.....i mean if i eat a a bite of something like pizza or have one french fry, the mental nutcase in me takes over and i feel fat for days and convince i can see the difference in the mirror and that ive ruined my hard work all over ONE DAMN BITE...lol.....i do have "cheat bites" like taisting someons wings or pizza which is probably stupid because it reminds me of what im missing and keeps my craving alive....plus it makes the afore mentioned mental nutcase take over and have to do extra cardio to make up for it.....with summe hear its hard not to cheat or have a few beers but im doing ok....one thing i do is try to save drinking for special occasions.....for instace, my buddy is getting married in July and i'm in the wedding...im not haveing one sip of beer between now and then so i can celebrate that day and HOPEFULLY not feel as guilty
