I guess when you let your weight go up and down so many times in life (as I have) and get older, its only natural that your body starts to get WISE to your habits. I can go a day or two being very strict then completely! fall of the wagon (pizza, cake, etc.) Thank goodness I really love working out...but I'm starting to get frustrated. DO you really have to eat so clean EVERYDAY?

Lesson learned for today:: the cheat meals/days etc add up

Sweetie, I think you answered your own question!!!!! YES, EVERYDAY....except ONE! That's what the reward/cheat day is for. Kick ass all week and give yourself a pat on the back for sticking with it!

Iceprincess has given you some great suggestions. If you limit the amount of simple carbs you eat (candy bars cookies, pastas, white bread, etc) you will crave that kind of stuff less. I have some simple suggestions for you: If you must eat that kind of stuff, try to do it early in the day when your body has time to burn much of it as energy. 5 to 6 meals a day is ideal, eating the bulk of your starchy carbs early in the day and switching to leafy green comblex carb for your 4th, 5th & 6th meals as your body prepares to shut down for sleep. As for the cheat day (one a week), when you feel you've accomplished that goal, take it to the next level and reduce it to a cheat meal. Good luck to you Maybeyeah!! I'm just a newbie to the site but hope my suggestions help.
