Health nut: the importance of cheat meals

Sometimes I just need some pizza!  Last night, my darling husband wad nice enough to pick some up for me.  It was a cheat meal, and I don't regret a single slice.
"I'm not on a diet, I am just eating healthier.".  A couple of months ago I saw this quote on Pinterest and decided to make it my secret motto.  So in the spirit of not dieting, I allow myself AT LEAST ONE cheat meal a week.  Just because a person is trying to make good choices doesn't mean they should deprive themselves of their favorite foods.  Life would be so dull, and the chances of you sticking to being healthy in the long run are slim.  It's easy to get the idea in your head that you are only eating healthy and, then if you cheat...it's easy to beat yourself up for it.  But of you make a plan to cheat once, twice, even three times during the week and the make good choices the rest of the time, I guarantee you will have better results and feel happier when you get to indulge instead of feeling guilty.
