In all honesty I have NOT cheated yet on this diet. It's not worth it to me. I've dieted in the past for weight loss and have 'cheated' before, but this is different. I'm anal, stubborn and have great willpower when it comes to food now. I've shifted my focus and look at food now as a fuel needed to sustain my body and life.
"Eat to live, don't live to eat."
Yep, I do have my treats, but they aren't the bad treats that I used to have (my red flag foods were: Doritos, Chocolate, Pizza, CHEEZY STICKS FROM PIZZA HUT!). It's only been a month, but rarely do I get urges to nosh on these foods. My boyfriend doesn't eat these foods in front of me (at his perogative, what a sweetie!) but even if he did, it wouldn't bother me.
I'm sure that I'll inadvertently 'cheat' but that will only be because I was a 'tard and didn't read a label or misinterpreted a label.
I feel healthier, I've lost weight and in general feel so much better about my overall being after being on this diet. Before, I was miserable because I know that I wasn't eating the right foods (because I didn't know what they were) AND I had to deal with IBS. Now I'm eating better, which helps my IBS. I can't tell you how great that feels.
