Shame on me but I'm indulging all weekend. I had IHOP last night, but I still had a calorie deficit for the day so it didn't sabotage my weight loss efforts whatsoever. Today I had 2 pieces of king cake but I still was within my normal calorie range with a large (over 1000) calorie deficit for the day. Tomorrow I'm going to a bar to celebrate my cousin's birthday and Mardi Gras so I'll be drinking, but I'll probably still have a calorie deficit. It's convenient to use cheat days as a reason to go crazy, but I've found it extremely easy to eat things that aren't part of my normal healthy diet and still have them not have negative effects on my weight loss efforts. I want this to be a lifestyle change, not a temporary diet until I reach my goal. I need to learn now how to successfully incorporate indulgences into my life without them having a negative affect on me. So far I think I'm doing a darn good job at it!
