Cheat Free question

[Desiree]

Could someone explain the rules for Cheat Free for me? Is it just having willpower against poor choices in foods?


Thanks in advance!

I'm just starting on my second cheat free challenge! I love having something to work toward and changing my clippie everyday.

My understanding is it depends on what program you're on. I'm on SBD and we are not allowed refined sugar or flour. I haven't touched the stuff in 101 days. So it really depends on which weight loss program you're following. When you follow your program without having the "forbidden foods" that day, you earn yourself the right to change your clippie. I just found out this morning that the cheat free bear will only let you go to 100 days and then you have to start over at 1 so that's what I did.

I hope I explained this correctly. If I didn't I'm someone else will. Hope to see your cheat free bear soon!

Desiree, I've wondered this myself in the past and have come to the conclusion that the 100 day cheat free challenge should be 100 days where you do not cheat at all.

However, I've set up mini-goals for myself and I use the cheat free bear clippie to help me keep track of how successful I've met those goals. If you want more details of my goals, let me know & I'll post them here.

I think you should use the cheat free bear clippie in whatever way motivates you most. There really are no hard and fast rules that I'm aware of. I say create your own rules and then let your conscience be your guide.

Leave it to Doe to explain things so easily and simply! I wish I could have said what you did. Thanks Doe!

I created the Cheat free Bear to be a motivater for WISHers and a way to show their successes in 'accomplishments' and not just 'pounds'.

I would say for anyone that wishes to use the 'cheat free' system to first set a list of goals for yourself and the program you wish to follow. If you accomplish your goals for the day --- then your are 'cheat free'.

Thanks for creating this clipart for us, Jody. It's a great motivator, just like you

I totally agree. Thanks so much Jody. I just love all the clipart. It has helped keep me on the straight and narrow on more than one ocassion. I can't "bear" the idea of not changing my cheat free bear daily. Your efforts are appreciated so much!
