We've all experienced the urge to not eat what is exactly allowed on our diet. When I stray I call it my cheat day. A wise man once told me that if you want a cookie eat a cookie, just don't binge and eat the whole bag of cookies. Today, I ate the proverbial cookie. After an awesome team workout at the gym, a group of us went to Fat Patty's (a local burger joint). I don't eat meat and since I ate a salad for lunch I didn't want to eat just a salad, so I ate a salad, grilled cheese, and fries. Let me say that I ate the salad first, then the grilled cheese leaving the crust, and finally 3 french fries. I use to take down that meal like a champ and today I couldn't even finish it. Although the meal was delicious, I feel like crap now (bloated).
However, I am a big proponent of the eat the cookie approach when it comes to dieting. It is easier to stay on your diet when you allow a little bit of wiggle room. Strictly dieting 24/7 at least for me has led to food binges and then abandonment of the whole diet. That's why when I want the cookie I eat it. Then I go back to my diet without a problem. I'm not saying everyday should be a cheat day but I am saying if you want the ice cream or the bun or whatever your vice is eat it but don't do it to an extent to which you can get back to your diet.
