I think cheat circumstances makes sense. You still want to live and enjoy your life. And you are right, people giving you chocolates and sweets as a gift sucks. I am a classic case of if it is not in the house I won't go looking for it but if it is put in front of me I am going to be weak willed. Haha.

To cheat day, or not to cheat day, that is the question.

Ugh, chocolate gifts are the worst.  I'm pretty good about not buying chocolate at the store, but if I get them as a gift it's really hard to resist eating them.

As for cheat days, it's really just about whatever works for you.  If your cheat days cause you to go over your limits, then they're not good, but if you stay within your limits and they help sustain your diet in the long run, then they're fine.

Personally, I have more "cheat circumstances".  Like, eating out with friends, or on an occasion = eat whatever you like.  But try to stay disciplined when eating yourself or at home
