But I don't call it cheating. On the weekend I just eat things I don't during the week, a beer or two, shot of whiskey, and itsy bitsy pastries mostly. Not too much at a sitting, really quite small portions and I don't binge. I'll choose whipped cream over ice cream any day. Ice cream is too sweet for me now.

(I'm also working out regularly and sustaining a reasonable loss every week, so I know I'm burning it up.)
