Hey Everyone! Good Morning and Happy LOOOONG WEEKEND!!! WOOHOO!

I am concerned this weekend about my eating and wanted to start a temporary support group for those of us who are afraid we'll fall off the wagon this weekend with BBQs and whatnot.

My goals for the weekend:

- stay away from heavy drinking
- allow myself 1 sweet per day under 100 calories (in order to not binge)
- choose healthy options for BBQs like chicken and veggies (NOT BRATS and SAUSAGE!)

Please include your own helpful tips and goals to stay healthy this weekend!

-Kate :flowerforyou:

    I love your goals. I've been worrying about the same thing. We have so many social events this weekend that revolve around eating. I'd been thinking about staying totally away from sweet treats -- because I love them so much I always eat way too much -- but just 100 calories is a great compromise :smile:

    I definitely feel you here. Fortunately for me I'm not much of a sweets fan, but hamburgers and hotdogs off the grill are definitely one of my weak spots. I figure I am going to take a two pronged approach. Firstly, I'll kill myself at the gym in the morning before the bbq so I have a big calorie budged for the day. Secondly, I will make my own burgers to bring so I know how many calories they have and how much damage I am doing with each one. That way I will (hopefully) be less liable to go nuts.

    Good luck! And wish me the same!

    That's a great idea Meanddamonkey!

    I actually have no set plans but I'm sure things, like day drinking, will come up and I'll be "forced" to eat the nasty foods my friends eat! I will have to plan accordingly and eat before I go and volunteer to be the DD! :drinker:
