Weight loss

This is just my opinion, but why don't you make that your cheat meal for the week? Knowing you're going to eat something really yummy on Friday will help you stick to healthy choices the rest of the week and you won't be feeling deprived.

Its my sister's kitchen tea on Sunday :cry:
 
I don't believe in the cheat meal theory - if you feel the need for a cheat - the diet is not sustainable.
 
This is where your thinking is wrong, you don't "stick" to a diet - its a change that should last forever. If you have changed the way you eat to such an extent that you can't maintain it indefinitely - then you are bound to fail.

A takeaway once in a while doesn't equal failure...

Some semantic interference possible...
diet - what a person eats, their "eating lifestyle"
vs
a diet - an eating program a person follows for a purpose, like reducing fat

Since this is a thread about getting thinner, I'd expect the second meaning to be the sort of default?
So since people in this thread are likely following a diet (or a change to regular eating lifestyle) to help lose weight, it doesn't need to be sustainable, just do the job.
Whether cheat meals can help with that is another matter.

You are perpetuating the sterotype by making a nonsense distinction- the latter assumes the diet will "stop", at this point "normal" eating will resume. What do you think the result might be? Enjoy your yoyoing weight idjit
 
I think I'm also speaking from the point of view of someone who has succeeded by being self-motivated and not rationalizing anything.

But I can fully understand how difficult it is to be strict with yourself.
In the end you stand a greater chance of failing if you are too hard on yourself.
