I think you shouldn’t worry about it much. You did the hardest part and now you can go a bit slower to your perfect weight.

I remember when I had cheat meals, those were always the days when I felt confident in my success so I could afford a big juicy meal from time to time. Yummy!

This is my first visit to your blog. I can’t imagine what you’ve gone through to lose the pounds you’ve already lost. I suppose one cheat meal now and then won’t hurt, but be mindful not to let those cheat meals get closer together until you fall off the wagon completely. I have seen it happen, and it’s so easy to do. Good luck to you!

Everyone needs a once-a-week cheat.
If you’re going to cheat, just try to keep the carbs to a minimum…that would be as simple as subbing the fries (or halving them) for a side salad.

Another hint…eat the cheat within an hour after you workout…you’ll still be really anabolic, so a load of combined fat and protein will do your body some good every once in a while.

That’s a lot of weight. Start off slow and you will get there!

Don’t beat yourself up. Like Shawn said, it was relatively healthy compared to what you could be eating.

Tastes a lot better than the example that he gave, too…

Don’t beat yourself up over it. It’s not like you had a Big Mac with large fries. It was a healthy meal, little heavy on calories, but a clean meal.

Not like me. I had gone 2 weeks with no sugar and I shared half a bag of Oreos with my two son’s Saturday night

It depends how many cheat meals you have per week?
But if it’s reasonable, then of course you should eat without guilt, otherwise don’t have cheat meal if it’s for feeling guilty right after!
In the program I’m following there is one cheat meal every 12 days, I think it is not enough, one per week would be easier, BUT when it’s time for my cheat meal, I really binge like there’s no tomorrow
After I’m full and eat a lot less the rest of the day.
I choose to have my cheat meal early afternoon and surely not at night, because I’m eating a lot and junk food!

I had gained 9 kgs in the last 3 months or so. I shifted to full time internet business and it resulted me some fat and money. I need the money and not the fat. I still haven’t started any exercises for slimming
