So true...I think "cheat" has a bad mental effect on me when it comes to dieting. When I "cheat" I seem to feel more guilty. I still have yet to find a way to over come the quilt of having a treat. I notice though if I feel guilty or upset about having a treat I end up eating more crap. Dieting is such a mental game

the only person you "cheat" is yourself. Hence the guilt. I prefer "splurge". with the same understanding as "indulge". Mine usually come from constipation issues though, I think I've only indulged once or twice since I started this weight loss journey.

I read the book intuitive eating, and it is a lot about "cheating" and that that is a bad word and a bad idea, and I really think it has made the difference in my being able lose weight finally. I love being able to splurge or indulge when I make the decision to and not feeling guilty!

I just use the word choices... I make choices about what I eat and have to live with my choices, healthy and unhealthy....

I think of it as "choice" and I typically have it planned such as when we got to a restaurant - I see the menu the day before and plan my choices ahead of time. I do not go on impulse - that would be deady!
