Re: What REALLY constitues CHEATING??

I think I stand at odds with most of the people on this board regarding this issue

You do... but it's ok! For so many Atkineers, carbohydrates are an addiction. And not only the carbs but the behaviors. If someone is able to tolerate a high number of carbohydrates and who has mastered self-control and is at or near goal, then behaviors like yours are probably not harmful in your circumstance.

Re: What REALLY constitues CHEATING??

ooohhhh let me clarify! I sound holier than thou! Now, I am almost perfect but not quite!

I have/do cheat once in a while. I'm very hard on myself too. Usually it's booze!

For example, I had 4 chocolate martinis 2 weeks ago. Think I'm still hung over!

So, my point is I cheat every once in a while but I identify it and take responsibility for it. Never do I go for more than one meal on a cheat unless I'm doing a "carb up" for weight lifting.
