I cheated today... how bad am i?

[Zolly99999]

Well I cheated today... on my diet.. I had 2 BBQ pork ribs 😳( not 2 racks just 2 bones worth lol) . I have a very strict diet. I feel a bit guilty.

What is your opinion on cheat days with your diet?

[BeachMe]

you need a cheat day. you should worry about your nutrition and not a strict diet, and yes allow yourself a cheat day. if you constantly just diet and then you fall off diet for a while your metabolism will be so messed up you will not only gain all weight back, but more.

Allow yourself a cheat day, but just watch your nutrition and monitor it in general. think nutrition not diet.

[Zolly99999]

Thanks for the reply. Yes I agree. I watch my nutruents.. I don't eat junk food , processed foods, etc. I eat fruits, vegetables, lean meats , dairy products, nuts , seeds, etc. The cleaner the better. I try and measure everything out

[BeachMe]

Thanks for the MHO

[Zolly99999]

You are very welcome 😁

[Laura131]

Just pray that judge scale will be gentle to you when it comes to a "trial" 😉 😂

[Zolly99999]

Eek.. I hope it's kind to me lol
Thanks for the reply

[Laura131]

😂😂
You're welcome

Even if you have to stay fit professionally, remember why it's good to be fit.
It's healthy, the routine and being physically active is good for you. Also most people that workout enjoy it and it makes them happier.
The way you look really should come second and that's where diet also is. Second. Yes you need to eat enough and healthy in general, but you don't need something crazy strict... I get it if you're a model or something, but you should never feel bad for enjoying food, especially when you live a healthy lifestyle.
Have fun

[Zolly99999]

I have been crazy strict for 8 months. A little cheat here and there won't kill me I guess. Just extra cardio time lol

[DizzyDesii]

I had an ex built like you and he ate baked foods and fruits/veggies 5 days a week and fast food 2 days a week. He did jiu jitsu twice a week and weight lifting a few days a week. He’s still got a rockin bod. You'll be fine. Cheat on the weekends

[Zolly99999]

Thanks for the reply. It's felt strange to me because I'm usually so strict when I put my mind to something I want to do.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea you’ll be fine. The way he ate on the weekend was the funniest shit ever. He’d order like 10 different things on the menu. It literally looked like a feast. And then he’d exercise it off again Monday lol

[Zolly99999]

Lol.. once I reach my next goal I will look at maybe "easing the restrictions " lol

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Cheat days are treat days & when it comes to food sometimes you have to treat yourself. As for me I’m working out again & for the past two months I’ve been doing pretty good however on Saturday’s not so good & all I can say is that I treat myself & take care of my inner fat kid.

[Zolly99999]

I was good for 8 months. lol but I'm more motivated now after my cheat day

[Static_In_The_Attic]

My brother from another mother your body from time to time needs to be flooded with calories so if you grab a cheeseburger or cheesesteak it’s ok. Cheat days are major motivators so keep up the good work & reward yourself.

[Zolly99999]

It definitely takes the urges away. . My treat is plain rice cakes with peanut butter.. lol

[Blackcosmo]

Uy uy you scared me there for a hot second! It's alright. A cheat meal ain't gonna hurt anyone especially since you've been doing really well with your diet so you deserve it.

I cheat literally all the time lol. I need to convince my sister to stop baking because we're all gonna become junkies and we all end up eating it because it's delicious. Ugh we do not want to get diabetes for sure.

[Zolly99999]

Thank you for the reply. I Have been solid with my diet for 8 months.. it just feels off to me because I'm so strict..

[Blackcosmo]

No problem! 8 months? Oh my god you should be so proud of yourself. That's a long time to go on a perfectly healthy diet.
It makes sense to feel off of course lol. In my opinion this cheat meal is well deserved and won't do any harm.

[Zolly99999]

Probably not lol.. or just some extra cardio. lol

[Blackcosmo]

Lolll

[CrazyGirl2]

LOL, I saw the question in my inbox “I just cheated…” and I was all ready with my fiery judgement filled tirade, when I was like “OHHH 😮 okay, well thats not bad at all “!

[Zolly99999]

That's why I wrote it this way. ... it grabs people's attention 1😉😉

[CrazyGirl2]

It def worked!

[Zolly99999]

Lol🤣🤣🤣

[CrazyGirl2]

thanks 😘

[Zolly99999]

You do know i kinda aimed it at you to freak you out.

[CrazyGirl2]

Oh… Well you definitely failed. I didn’t even come CLOSE to freaking out. I just thought what an asshole!

[Zolly99999]

That's works too🤣🤣🤣

[CrazyGirl2]

Yeah, but then I saw what you meant, and thought “oh, thank god THIS ONE isn’t an ass hole!

[Zolly99999]

I try not to be... I try to learn from my mistakes

[CrazyGirl2]

Well that’s good, keep doing that thing.

[Zolly99999]

I definitely will try my best

[CrazyGirl2]

Thats all anyone can ask 😘

[NathanDavis]

don't sweat it...

actually do that, you'll have plenty of time to sweat it off lmao

just enjoy it from time to time without the guilt

[Zolly99999]

Yes I will try.. it was just the first time.

[NathanDavis]

make sure there's more... at least twice a month

twice a month will not get any dent on your regime...

[Zolly99999]

Thanks for the info..

[NathanDavis]

I can see your pic... lol

twice a month won't undo that kind of work...

[Zolly99999]

My friends say I have OCD with everything I do lol

[NathanDavis]

I have it as well... but I've been working on it for decades... lol

[bean2k21]

I was hoping you had sex with the babysitter. That being said, I ordered a cheeseburger today because I was too lazy to toss some salad.

[Zolly99999]

No not this time lol

[20yearsolder]

My opinion is you need to have one, at least once a week

[Zolly99999]

A lot of people tell me that..

[20yearsolder]

From what I understand it kind of tricks your body thinking okay I don't have to store this fat because I'm getting fed some more. Then you kick back into your dieting. One sheet day is not going to ruin your diet

[Zolly99999]

It just feels weird being the first tome lol

[20yearsolder]

Well you should be proud then with this long without cheating

[Zolly99999]

8 months...

[20yearsolder]

That a boy, that's awesome

[Zolly99999]

I don't do anything half assed.. lol

[Andro36]

It's ok. This happens and is part of the process

[Zolly99999]

Thanks for the reply. I'm very strict and this was my first time.. I just felt bad for doing it lol

[Wise4myage]

Relax, its ok to cheat on your diet now and then. Just don't make a habit of it.

[EndlessVoid20]

Hit the gym!

[Zolly99999]

I did extra cardio.. lol

[EndlessVoid20]

That's 👍 good

[JosyJosy]

The scale will decide that.

[Still-alive]

*it breaks when stepped on* 😞😖

[Zolly99999]

Or and extra 30 mins of cardio.. hmmm🤔

[JosyJosy]

Or a stronger scale

[Zolly99999]

Gee thanks 🤣🤣🤣
