Cheat Day: Friend or Foe?
Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006I eat clean all week long. The closest thing to unhealthy that I have would probably be ketchup with my grilled chicken or maybe an extra peice of fruit. I go through the week with no real cravings for anything "bad", but when the weekend gets here I want bread and sweets. Usually on sunday I let loose. I don’t eat a lot in the morning at breakfast or even lunch because I am on the UGA meal plan (which is completely awesome). On sunday night, the dining hall is closed and we are on our own for dinner. I usually use this as a cheat meal. I’ll go eat mexican or something like that. I will eat so much that I am completely full. That was just the friendly part of cheat day though. The next day is where the reprocussions appear. Carb bloat! I get such a terrible carb bloat and it does not go away until about the middle of the week. So my definition is shot for a while and then I look decent for a couple days. After a few days of narcicistic satisfaction, the process begins again. I really don’t understand why I crave the cheat day and how to get over it because it makes my body look horrible. What to do….What to do?
