Cheat Mates


Hallelujah!!! Today is Monday and Cheat Day is here, but the sista wives are not together.  Richelle is in Austin and Jenn in Madrid, Spain. It's sad really, because as excited as we are to eat ourselves silly, it kind of takes the fun out of it if you can't do it with your cheat mate. One of the best parts of cheat day is the anticipation of talking about what we're craving, want to eat and where we will go to get it.  We map everything out in our heads from start to finish with a few unexpected surprises in between. It's awesome to witness our food dreams come true and to see the joy and smile it brings to each other's faces, as we savor every last bit of our eating and drinking extravaganza.  Even though we aren't together we still get to cheat, but it's with other people who just aren't quite as excited about that first bite of forbidden food as we are. This is because they get to eat whatever they want everyday so it's no big deal for them. They don't understand the seriousness of how hard we've worked at eating right all week just to get to this day. We've been so disciplined and this is our reward damn it!!  It's not that we don't want to be with our friends or enjoy their company on cheat day because we love them - they are the coolest.   It's  just that the meaning isn't quite the same.  So if we can't be together on Mondays,  is it considered cheating on your cheat mate if you are cheating on cheat day with someone else?
