Start Weight:	(26 Dec 11) 137.0 lb
Current Weight:	(16 Jan 13) 134.0 lb
Goal Weight:	110.0 lb

following: megan.eatough's own diet
performance: gaining 0.4 lb a week

I'm 24 years old and just beginning on a diet that may turn out to be the only one I've ever really followed consistently.

A vegetarian since I was 13, I just started eating fish here and there 3 years ago and I'm hoping to eat healthier.

For years and years, my diet consisted of cheese pizza, bagels, quesadillas, etc... In high school, it worked for me and I weighed about 100 pounds - well not anymore!

I am a junk food junkie that needs to change her viewpoint on food - Who's with me?

Being a woman who loves food...
OMG Samesies!!! I can't believe some get to eat like 3000 a day! Man oh man! But I guess it's just a part of how we're built. (Also 5'2" , but only on particularly tall days.)

To Cheat Day or Not to Cheat Day?
Update: I do cheat on occasion, in terms of the food that I am eating, but I do try and factor them in to my daily RDI. Had an unplanned "cheat day" due to a big lunch out (and beer - duhhh!!) and I was able to get back on track pretty easily. But I might just consider that my "spike day" for the week and even let myself do it again next week.

I think for me at least, the guilt after the cheat day helps to re-motivate.

Anyway, last night I dreamed about Friday Night Fish Fry and woke up in a very bad mood that I can't have that tonight. Sad

.... but if I plan Friday as a cheat day next week, I can do it. Maybe that's something I need to keep me sane, I don't know...

To Cheat Day or Not to Cheat Day?
Thank you all for so much great advice!!

I'm kind of like chayleah - I would say that I already do "cheat meals" and allow myself to have the foods that I like. For example, for lunch today I went out to eat and had a grilled cheese with avocado plus a side of mac & cheese and ate the whole thing. However, I don't count it as cheating if I eat a small, healthier dinner and stay within my RDI for the day (FS has me programmed at 1400 but I try to shoot for between 1200 - 1300).

So maybe I'm already cheating? There have already been days where I go over my RDI by a couple hundred calories.

I think what I'll do is try to plan one day a week where I let myself go above 1400 by 300 calories or more, but I should still log my food to keep in check.

Honestly, after eating lighter for a few weeks I'm not sure I'd be hungry enough to eat 3000 calories in a day. Of course, I live in Wisconsin, so fried cheese curds are abundant Razz

To Cheat Day or Not to Cheat Day?
Been trying to follow an RDI of 1400 or less for the last few weeks and it does appear (I NEVER step on a scale) to be working sloowly.

I have been thinking about cheat days for a while, especially since my sister's wedding is coming up and I don't want to have to worry about calories on such a joyous occasion.

I am impressed by the number of OUTSTANDING reviews for the Spike Diet on Amazon.

I would be ECSTATIC to have one day a week where I could go to Chinese Buffet, eat four slices of pizza, pig out on chips and dip etc...

But will this sabotage my diet?

I'm currently not exercising regularly and it seems that most people doing the spike thing are.

Any advice?
