Weekend Sabotage

Hi, so hubby and I have started on a healthy eating path together and last week was our first week...we did great, breakfast/lunch & dinner were on track and we were feeling great. Then the weekend came and he stuck to the plan and I bombed...I found every opportunity to sneak food, candy, junk, etc. I hide everything from him and the kids. I feel so guilty and just want to give up. He obviously has the will power to stop himself from this type of eating and I don't. I know today is a new day, but it feel so pointless to have a great week and then throw it all away on the weekend.

Can you tell me how you handle your weekends? I find I eat out of boredom and emotion. Thanks

    Acknowledge it. Log it and fess up to hubby. It is more about coping mechanisms than willpower. Find something else to do when you are bored. I tend to exercise and have a balance ball sitting in the living room if I get bored watching TV. Find other ways to cope with emotional stress. I tend to write or journal. You can do this.
