I really, really like this saying. 

There is a difference. Just because I'm eating healthy does not mean I'm "dieting" or even restricting myself from everything "unhealthy." But to be honest, after 10 days of eating clean I don't have cravings for fast food, junk food, sweets, etc. I actually enjoyed my oatmeal the other day without sweetener...although I'm still not sold on plain Greek yogurt or coffee without a little something in it :)

I believe in allowing yourself to cheat once or twice per week. As our coach of the challenge told us, "Don't let it get out of control." Let yourself have a treat - just not the whole bowl/plate/pan :)
