Hit my first milestone and felt the need to reassess my cheat day!

So I’m officially at 200lb (F28 5’3” SW:225 CW: 200 GW:130). I started my weight loss May 20th and I’m down 25lb! I’ve just been doing CICO and overall healthy choices. I hit a plateau a little while back but I kept going forward and I’m doing great! I decided once I get under 200lb I am going to have a cheat day. I had it all planned out and it made me feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas. I was a little worried I would go into full binge mode, but I planned what I was going to eat and already put it into MyFitnessPal. That’s when I realized that I want a cheat day, just not to the extent I was first going to go. I originally planned to have a fried chicken sandwich for lunch and chicken Parmesan for dinner. Then I realized I would be at 3000kal when I logged it. I thought about it, and there was no way I could justify that in my head. So I took the chicken parm out of it and decided to go with some homemade stuffed shells instead. I was completely content with this choice and very proud of myself. I used to have no sense of calorie consumption and CICO has really helped me asses my options and make better choices. My cheat day is now just a maintenance day and I couldn’t be happier. Also, bit if advice: I always thought I was 5ft even, but for some reason I wanted to recheck that one day. I measured myself 4 times and low and behold I’m actually 5’3.5”! That’s like an extra 100kcal I can eat! Lol. Double check your height!
