I look forward to a cheat meal each week after eating at a 1000cal deficit daily + exercise 5 days a week. once I eat said cheat meal I feel like a fat failure. How do I break this cycle?

Don't call it a cheat meal. Call it a bonus meal or something that doesn't have the negative connotation behind it.

It sounds like this is a mental thing more than anything. Seems like the best way to address it is adjusting how you think about your cheat meal so it doesn’t lead to guilt. Apart from that, maybe try portion controlling your cheat meal so you still enjoy the meal but don’t consume as many calories. Another option would be to only have a cheat meal every other week to space it out more and see how you feel. If you gradually space your cheat meal out over longer periods of time eventually you may be able to phase it out altogether.

Good luck!

Oh I didn't even consider that last option! Thanks heaps, totally refreshing viewpoint

How many calories/what is the macronutrient profile of your cheat meal?

I have a good skincare regime. I used to suffer from severe acne few years ago but I had it under control until lately I noticed I have been breaking out bad especially near my chin and side of my face. I work out atleast 5 days a week but I shower (body) after workout and I also use BHA, retin A, vit C & moisturizer almost daily. I suspect it’s because I don’t wash my hair daily every time I workout. I don’t want to wash my hair daily but seems like I will have to do it. Any recommendations?

Morning! So I am in the process of an IUI. I started letrozole Wednesday and have to go back next Wednesday for blood work and ultra sound.
