it depends on how overboard you go on that one day. Dont eat incredibly unhealthy on that day just relax your dieting counting and such. Almost all of the diets i have been on i have had something like you have..free days..or cheat days where i can have one thing. It makes the week go by faster, and gives you something to look forward to. Just dont overdo! Ive always read that depriving yourself of your favorite foods makes a dieter depressed anyway. Good idea and good luck! -Mandi

you'll end up gaining back whatever you lost that week. treat yourself on the 8th day to one thing but dont eat anything and everything you want
