At some point in your life, you will or have claimed to go on a diet or a cleanse. You vow to yourself to hit the gym five times a week and to live on the berry and twig diet for the next however many months it takes to get that desired look you want. You tell yourself to drink anything but water and to resist those urges to go out and buy yourself a large fry from McDonald's.
The first week or two you are off to a good start, eating nothing but what today's weight- loss experts and body builders say is the best thing for you. You bust your butt off at the gym after work for two hours and then do it all again the next day. Nothing will stop you from eating bad food! You shouldn't eat any bad food while on your weight loss journey, right?
Wrong! Have a cheat meal or a cheat day every once in awhile! Here's a list of good ways to spend those extra calories and enjoy yourself! You deserve it!
1. Can't go wrong with the classic french fry!
That crisp, warm, salty taste of the first bite. You can never eat just one!
2. Donuts!
Whether it's from Dunkin Donuts, Krispy Kreme, or Hostess, you can never go wrong with the sweet taste of fried dough, layered in glaze and topped with chocolate or stuffed with jelly.
3. The delicious taste of potato chips.
There are too many flavors to love- classic chips, barbecue chips (my personal favorite), salt and vinegar, cheese puffs, kettle cooked, wavy chips, sour-cream and onion- you name it! Potato chips are another one where you can't eat just one and not have more.
4. Ice Cream!!
Ice cream sundae's, ice cream cakes, eating ice cream by the pint, Blizzards from Dairy Queen, the options are endless- and so is the amount of ice cream in the world!
5. The mother of all junk food- PIZZA!
I don't even have to try to sell this- the gif says enough.
6. Birthday cake!
It doesn't even have to be your birthday to enjoy a slice of heaven.
7. Wings galore!
Spicy or sweet- they are definitely the perfect midnight snack!
8. Mozzarella Sticks
That warm ooey-gooey cheese that can stretch as far as your arm can is just oh-so-divine. The perfect cheat snack.
9. Cookies
Always a delicious treat that goes great with a glass of milk.
10. Movie Theatre Popcorn
A personal favorite of mine- don't forget the extra butter and salt! Might as well go all out!
11. A cool, refreshing can of pop (or soda as some may call it)
Over ice, it is the perfect way to ease that sweet craving and the perfect drink to sit back and relax with.
