Weekends are so terrible for me food wise

I am doing so well during the week, like very very well.   Going to the gym, eating very healthy but I am struggling with weekends.   Wow.  I ate like there was no tomorrow this weekend and I feel guilty.   I know I didn't want this to feel like a diet but it's difficult.  Lots of temptation with parties.  I have to be more discplined.  Sometimes I wish I could work all week (not really, but you know what I mean)  Anybody else struggling these days?

Hey rach,

The same is with me too. During the week, I am an absolute angel and then weekend**** and i'm so bad. We eat out and eat often. I think it's the lack of routine really. During the week I follow a strict routine of eating at the same times and during weekends i'm home and free to eat when I wish.

Don't fret though, because honestly we are probably just being too hard on ourselves. I was freaking out this morning cause I had a BAD eating weekend and I was scared to jump on the scale this morning but when I did i had lost a pound.

It's like my hubby tells me, you are nowhere near how you were before. Give yourself a pat on the back and start over.

oxoxoxox This isin't an exact science, it's a learning curve.

Weekends are my worse time too. Weekdays are easy, but the lack of structure on the weekend kill me. I still can't eat, so it staying away from slider foods that's a struggle right now. I had to go out on a child protection matter today- right through lunch. So you can imagine, I couldn't just pop into somewhere for some food. On the way home  - at 3:30- I stopped at MacDonald's for an ice cream cone. I was saved by the weather, I think- they didn't have the machine on, so I had a yogurt.

Thank you girls and I think you are right that it's trying not to be so hard on ourselves.  I'll need to have a more structured weekend and allow myself to "cheat" in moderation.

I knew this process was going to be slow but I try to keep on telling myself that it's the healthiest option for me.   I just have to be patient but I'm anxious to get rid of all of this fat.

Look at how well you have done! It is hard not to be discouraged, especially when food is you (our) addiction of choice, but you have come down about 8 BMI points. in such a short time. the key is to plan your food on the weekend like we do during the week. It helps that there are fewer temptation foods at work. It is a good idea to clean out the cupboard of slider foods. I know the hubbies want then, but they have to deal and be supportive, All that junk isn't any healthier for them than it is for us.

I agree... I just need to organize and plan.
