I just found an article in Muscle and Fitness that claims cheating is GOOD FOR YOUR DIET!! 
As soon as Leah is no longer falling asleep on my arm (making my arm fall asleep!) I'll get it and copy it in here. I think it will help aleviate (sp?) those feelings of guilt people are having after the 4th of July weekend. :lol:

Having my clothes fit right and looking good brings me happiness, so both correlate with each other for me.

Okay, here we go:
Myth of the Month: Cheating ruins your physique
By Chris Aceto
The truth: Cheating- eating many more calories than you normally do one day a week- can actually prevent your metabolism from dropping. It's the great paradox of dieting. When calories decline, levels of thyroid hormone, a major calorie-burner, also dip, as does leptin and hormone-sensitive lipase, an enzyme that helps banish bodyfat. Besides metabolism, there's muscle to consider; IGF-I, a hormone that supports muscle growth, retention and repair, also declines with prolonged dieting.
What to do: Every seven to ten days in a leaning out diet, double your carbohydrate consumption for one day. The sudden boost reverses the decline in metabolism while driving IGF-I levels back to normal, if not a little higher. This not only prevents "sticking points" in dieting, but ensures you'll maintain your muscle mass.
