I’ve attempted to start eating healthier probably over 10 times in my life. Most attempts last about two weeks. Usually I’ll plan to have a whole week of eating under my daily calorie limit and then have one ridiculously high calorie cheat day in a week. The problem with this is it’s extremely difficult for me to maintain constant willpower over 6 days so I end up having a cheat day PLUS several cheat meals a week. I found that when living in a house with other people who are not working to lose weight, I’m often presented with unexpected food that’s hard to resist. I decided this time I’ll cut out the cheat day and when I feel like I want to partake in food that will put me over my limit I just do it.
I’ve found that this makes it easier for me to stay on track over time and also puts me at about 500-800 calories over my weekly limit rather than 2,000+ over with a full cheat day. Just thought I’d share this strategy because it’s made dieting for me way easier and more fun!
