Cheat days are something curious to me. I’m sort of an expert on them. You see to get to 304 pounds, you have to experience a lot of cheat days. Big meals, seconds, and thirds, desserts, snacks, first breakfast, second breakfast, first lunch, second lunch. Just one more bite, that’s all, it’s a special occasion, the ” you fill in the blank day” only happens once a year. I have used more manipulation, excuses, sound reasoning, you name it, I used it only to justify my unwillingness to make my health a priority.

So let’s you and me reframe what a “cheat day” is, let’s create a new definition, a new paradigm.

Now a “cheat day” is

When I cheat the doctor out of extra appointments, I’m too healthy
When I cheat the pharmaceutical companies out of all that medication that I won’t be buying
When I cheat the heart surgeon and hospital out of the bypass surgery or angioplasty that I won’t need
When I cheat life into giving me more days than my previous path was taking me and I get more time with Angie and my children
When I get to meet my grandchildren
When I get to be here and live a full and healthy life

I’d love to hear from you and what you will be gaining instead of weight on your “cheat days”

I know that all of our days are numbered, but I also know that God gave you and me something called free will, we get a little bit of say so in the numbers.

Sticking to my program of healthy eating isn’t convenient all the time, I would love to cheat most days, but I choose my new definition of a cheat day. I choose to live. I hope you will too.

It won’t be easy or comfortable but it will be worth it.

Remember comfort and safety are overrated.
Get uncomfortable and take a chance and…

Press post then press forward.


175 pounds here I come!!!
