Cheat day once every 3 months?

I am planning on losing 4 kg over the course of 2 months then maintaining for a month, and then losing another 4 kg, then continuing this cycle until I have lost 33 kg in total. I lift 3 times a week by the way. I am losing it this slowly because I want to minimise loose skin as much as possible and I think it is easier psychologically. Also, I need breaks otherwise my lifting numbers will suffer.

At the end of every weight loss period I want a cheat day. And by cheating, i mean CHEATING. I mean losing all self control whatsoever for the entire day. If that means 5 pizzas plus starters and desert and a milkshake then so be it!!!!

My thought process is that I would gain a bit of weight from swapping from weight loss to maintenance anyways so the mental effect of seeing the number on the scale go up more than otherwise wouldn’t be much anyways. Also, I have to hit a specific number on the scale for me to end my cycle anyway even if it takes longer than 2 months so I will definitely burn it off.

I just want your opinions. Thank you!
