I'm and 18 year old girl who's trying to lose weight the one thing I have problem with is cheat days. Every time I do them whether planned or unplanned I always manage to do another cheat day after that and then another cheat day and the bad eating lasts between three days and a week it's really annoying. I feel like I can't ever let myself eat anything that is unhealthy without getting into this kind of bad eating mindset and then I have to rework from where I started. I just feel like an endless cycle that will never stop it's really annoying because I lose a pound and then I gain one it's kind of like yo-yo dieting.

I'm tired of starting over but I also know that if I restrict myself and unhealthy foods I will end up giving myself an excuse to eat it anyway I don't want to strip myself too much but I was going to give myself too much freedom I wish I knew what I could do but I don't.

I've considered maybe just letting myself have a little treat every now and then but then when I do have that little treat it makes me feel like the whole day of healthy eating is illegitimate. I'm not sure but maybe me coming to terms with that will be better than continuing to give myself a whole day to eat bad and then that day turning into more days.

Any help and personal experience is welcome thank you :)
