What would be the biggest reason you find yourself in a full out cheat-fest?

When I've have a long day at work, come home to an empty apartment and I'm feeling too lazy to cook but more than willing to trot on over to the corner store for a big bag of black pepper and lime kettle chips and a dr. pepper. ummmmmm.

I used to convince myself that because they were 'kettle' chips they were made with the 'healthy' fat...so they were okay to eat. And you know, if I stopped at a handful it wouldn't have been so bad - it was eating the whole darn bag that did me in.

Cheers

Right up my ally Rely!

Well, I think right now its because of where I work and that good food is so accessable. It is also stress(Roger and me have has some problems lately), and just always being away and on the road and that easy "grab a burger on the way" thing. But I talked to Shawna about it, and I know that when I graduate in 2 months, I can get back on track...

Probably rejection and loneliness.

With the rejection deal, I just feel like I don't care, and that it doesn't matter if I lose weight. Then I'll pig out. That's what this past week has been like.

I say loneliness, just because as my friends and I get older, and they get married and have families, I don't get to see them or talk to them as much. Over the summer, it's worse because I have all this time on my hands, while everyone else is still working.

When then causes me to attempt to ask out more women, and then leads to more strikeouts, which feeds back into the rejection deal.

Boy, am I hungry!

I never do! Honest. There's no reason to "cheat" and nothing to "cheat" upon. In my case, as you know, it wasn't a matter of some deprivation diet. All I did, and continue to do, is I changed the way I eat....now I eat regular meals, in healthy portions. And I knock off the processed junk. Really, when you compare fresh homemade food to something out of a box....well, there's no comparison. And I can't see myself going back to "quick and easy" at the expense of "healthy and good tasting." Cheating is not an issue, because I'm not into cheating myself out of good health, a long life, and a good old fashioned fun time living it.

I plan cheats. For example, on weekends I drink as much alcohol as I desire. A lot of the time BF and I grill stuff on the BBQ lately, so I make sure the buns are whole grain, and that there is a side of veggies. 2 weeks ago, we made raw veggies and dip and the bag of chips that his stupid roommate requested went untouched!

Today, I ate an order of KFC popcorn chicken (a la carte with huge homemade salad on the side), but I'm going to work out for 2 hours tonight, so that's fine.

I only wish I had your willpower.
