The IM Competition Cheat Confession Thread

ponyboy · 10-20-2003, 10:11 AM

Hey folks,

I think sometimes we all take our diets a little too seriously, especially for those of us who aren't getting on a stage anytime soon. Therefore I would like to have a thread devoted to the occasional time we eat or drink something that would normally be EVIL and WRONG. If we get it out of our systems then we might all feel better.

Feel free to post your cheats in here and get it out of your system.

I'll begin:

Saturday night I had FIVE GLASSES OF WINE. It was an excellent Australian white wine. Got a little tipsy...

Jenny · 10-20-2003, 10:39 AM

Nice thread Pony

I have a lot to post in here from the past week

Saturday night:
birth day cake and plenty of glasses of wine

the rest is history

david · 10-20-2003, 10:42 AM

for the last three weeks, I partied!

But the party ends Tomorrow with my new trainer!

nikegurl · 10-20-2003, 10:43 AM

I'll jump on board with the Saturday night slips.

2 glasses of wine. 1/2 Rice Krispie treat.

(after the wine the rice krispie treat seemed less bad for me. lol)

Momma2 · 10-20-2003, 12:46 PM

I didn't get in on the online comp. wanted to , just missed the deadline,
But I do want to confess that last week I drank way to often,
and didn't train enough. As of today I'm back to regular training
I'm going this afternoon and joining the gym at the old folks home ( the only one around) and will start working out 3-5 times a week depending on business.
Thanks for allowing me to get this out in the open.

Tank316 · 10-21-2003, 09:26 AM

i had 1 cookie last night.

Rocco32 · 10-21-2003, 04:18 PM

What the hell guys? This is supposed to be about cheats, you all are making me feel bad now. A cookie here, a scone there. Last Saturday I have a large Pizza hut pizza, a hot dog and 2 beers.

hikerchick · 10-21-2003, 07:49 PM

Would it make you feel any better if I told you about the entire pint of Ben and Jerrys that I ate two Sundays ago?

Rocco32 · 10-21-2003, 07:53 PM

Two sundays ago- No. Two Sundays in a row- yes!!

hikerchick · 10-21-2003, 08:00 PM

How about a Saturday and a Sunday!!

Can I go hide behind a rock now? That was then and this is now though, I'm in a much better place.

Rocco32 · 10-21-2003, 08:25 PM

Your starting to make me feel a little bit better Hikerchick, keep going.

But seriously, should I not have a cheat meal like that once a week. Every other meal of the week is very strict, but on Saturday night I eat what I want and how much I want. Is that detrimental?

J'Bo · 10-21-2003, 09:40 PM

well i am queen of confessions.

sat night: chinese food at 11pm with girl friend
sun breakfast: chinese food
sun lunch while driving around doing arrands: ben and jerrys

sun dinner: McD's
sun dinner #2: well it was healthy except for 4 mini empire cookies

you feel better Rock?

I think that if looking forward to that cheat meal keeps you eating clean all week then you should definitely keep it and not feel an ounce of remorse. Besides, haven't there been a ton of studies done that a cheat actually benefits your metabolism - shakes it up a bit?

That's what I was figuring Hikerchick, I was always told it like reboots the metabolism. I'm just wondering though if I'm rebooting it or crashing it with what I eat on Sat night.

J'Bo · 10-22-2003, 06:11 AM

i would like to think that it resets your metabolism and it does work for me.
however i not found any evidence that it indeed does reset the metabolism.
physcologically i think it resets your week from dieting so strictly.

Rocco32 · 10-22-2003, 06:15 AM

Thanks J'Bo! You know, you left me hanging in my journal a few days back.

If it's any consolation. I had Chinese yesterday. I haven't been able to diet right since getting sick. Last week I took myself off Biaxin XL and it's giving me BAD stomach problems.

So, for the last two weeks. I've eaten the norm. Pizza, Pasta, mashed potato, chips, oh and Saturday I had a shake........Next week though....depending on my stomach and the way I'm feeling, I will get right on my diet train and there will be NO CHEATING Monday thru Sat.............!!!

Stacey · 10-22-2003, 09:29 AM

Babsiegirl-- I always have that problem after being sick also!!! I know where your coming from girl!!

shortstuff · 10-22-2003, 09:48 AM

Ok you are all going to laugh but my idea of a cheat last weekend was some atkin's candy, well they were peanut butter cups and caramel nut chew, like 100cals apiece and like 6g CHO all together. And that was because I was going through that time of the month and needed some chocolate. So there that is my cheat.

I know. I feel so guilty and fat. Then I get all pissy.

I haven't been to the gym at all this week.

Stomach just hurts. Feels like it's in knots. I think today I'm going to get some tums.

shortstuff · 10-22-2003, 10:03 AM

Oh I hope you feel better Babsie

Stacey · 10-22-2003, 10:07 AM

you had a yummy cheat SS!!!

I have tried those--they are good!

I'm starting to feel better. Just the stomach upset and, I'm sure it's not good that I'm throwing junk in there. I haven't even taken supplements....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......I'm crashing. I can feel the fat rushing to my cheeks...both butt and face

I'm guessing I should be better by next week. If not, I'm going to strangle myself, toss my hands in the air and milk the cow.

shortstuff · 10-22-2003, 03:51 PM

Hiker- safeway and freddy;s both carry them, look in the health food/organic section

They are way good and taste just as good as the real.

Babs- That is good to hear I know about the tummy troubles, mine get like that too. But you are a trooper and good luck hun

J'Bo · 10-22-2003, 05:40 PM

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
