Yes! I totally believe that indulgences and "cheating" have a place in a healthy lifestyle. I write about this A LOT, and have a whole theory around it (I call it Wicked Healthy). Trying to achieve a "perfectly" healthy lifestyle is not only unattainable, it's no fun. And you won't stick with it. I think building in some wiggle room for indulgences means you're more likely to stay true for the long haul, and be healthier overall.
