Cheating is a good way to tell your body, "I'm eating healthy, damnit! And this is what bad food is...so process the good stuff I eat on a normal basis wisely!" You should definately cheat once a week (tops) to make sure your body knows what good and bad is. Keep going, it looks like you are doing great! It’s okay!

Just need to forget about it and get back into the groove--though perhaps I need to remember how crappy I felt afterwards. But, yeah, it's not the end of the world--for either of us, or anyone else going through the same thing. Just something to be annoyed at yourself over.

I felt heavy and with no energy." That's how I've felt before if I've eaten processed food after eating clean for an extended period. So I'm not the only one out there who's body ends up hurting...I think it's all of the excess sodium and other additives and sugar. Your body just isn't used to it. WTG for just looking at it as something you did and now you're moving on. ;) Hi Israel, I can relate to, “My body hurt and I couldn’t open my eyes.

Just joking, but cheat meals should be one every two weeks, not more I believe, so that the other 13 days do way more than what is undone on the cheat meal.

DO NOT LET IT MAKE YOU FEEL ASHAMED, DO NOT DWELL ON IT! Forget about it, and move on. It is easy to recover from a day or two of poor eating- sometimes it is actually helpful.

Usually I would end up with horrible runs when I ate greasy and I would end up clogged up when I had steak. It would sit there like a brick. But that's all a learning experience. I still have pizza about every other week, but I order it so that it's half cheese and tell them to make it easy on the cheese. Then I order a half a turkey sub and tell them no mayo, no cheese, TONS of veggies and no dressing. Then I use salad spritzer on it. I love it, and really, I love my new waist so much that I can deal with this. You ought to see how I look today wearing my new size 12 denim skirt and a tucked in shirt. I feel wonderful! I hope that you feel great today too! I have had some times when I just threw away resolve and ate.

Order the pizza but make sure it is 1. thin crust 2. NO extra cheese (you can even tell them to go light on the cheese) 3. Have them cover it with veggies (olives, mushrooms, peppers, onions, etc.) 4. Also have them drop some grilled chicken (or possibly canadian bacon). AND don't eat more than three piece. Put the rest away so you can eat a piece or two a day. That way it lasts three days AND you cut the calories drastically (from something like 450-650 per slice to 125-250 per slice).
