It is so easy to fall right back into old patterns.

Actually, I don't cheat...my diet and I have had an understanding from the very beginning that this was an "open" relationship...yes, I love veggies and low-fat dairy, but I am free to see others, i.e. chocolate and turtle sundaes from Culver's. What I do realize, however, is that when I spend time with the "others", I usually end up getting skrewd in the end, so it is in my best interests to stay faithful :) As any "cheater", I try to hide the incriminating evidence from my SO (the scale), but somehow, it always seems to know what I've been up to...I guess cheaters never win :)

Warmer weather is what we dread here...the heat, the humidity, the mosquitoes. My worst time of the year....hate it.

Yes I cheat...and well, it's usually a few days. Until I get sick, or disgusted. I gues I don't really cheat, I binge.

You couldn't have said it better! Mosquitoes are soooo bad...and the fleas! I live in the county and my poor stray cats are going crazy already!

Humid...I hate it....your hair never stays fixed all the humidity in the air just messes it up. I just am going to miss the winter months....even thou Spring is so pretty!

And yes I do cheat mostly at night...and if I have my devil friends around me...who know I am on a diet and still try to temp me....why are folks like that?

I am having a hard time eating in the morning...I forced my self to eat this a.m. just had a breakfast bar. Had a hard time eating it...but we went to eat mexican food at lunch and I think I did okay...this afternoon I had cereal w/2% low fat milk...but I had a lot of it.

I way in tomorrow...I hope I have not gained any weight.

Lori, You're post was tooo cute! For me it is all about the choices I make in what I eat so I can honestly say I haven't "cheated" but I was disappointed in the one night I broke my rule of no eating after 7pm. It is a great tip I got from this board and it has been life changing for me. I think we are all winners in our desire to want healthier lives! Yeah! LK

I try really hard not to cheat because if I do I have a hard time getting started again. I just can't eat only one oreo. If I do eat to much it is on healthy food because that is all I have in the house. That said, on a bad day I could easily gorge on cereal or sugar free ice cream. It isn't the oreo, but still.... Right now I am having to watch that I don't do little tastes here and there. I am bad about tasting a bite of the kids dinner etc. sharla

I splurge once in awhile, but not all the time.

You're kidding right???? ;-) Of course I cheat, sadly its a LOT of the time. It isn't really a cheat day or a cheat meal, it is several cheats interspersed into my daily life. Although when I REALLY cheat then I tend to say screw it and throw the whole day away. My biggest problem is sweet stuff, I have a major sugar addiction. Last week I was doing really well cutting down, not having anything with sugar all day and then only like 2 or 3 cookies after dinner. That was a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE accomplishment for me as I'd be embarassed to admit how much sweet stuff I really do eat. Then the weekend happened... All this week it has been downhill from there. I've tried really hard to get my willpower back, but I keep failing *sigh*. I don't know what got into me last week, I just decided I was going to kick the habit and then I went for it, there were tough times but I was able to work through it and not give in...but this week I just can't get back into that mindset. I think the one thing that helped me the most was the quote "It's easier to stay out than get out." I would say that to myself over and over again because it is totally true for me and sweets.
