    I wrote myself an eating plan for this weekend and have stuck by it.
    It has really helped!
    Good luck :)

    Look up on mfp how many calories are in the food before ordering it. When u order food first thing is divide your food in half take half home and eat only half. Fill up on salad ignore the bread.

    This definitely works for me. I check the mobile app to see how many calories something is on a menu, and that normally scares me away from eating it.

    It's actually taking a lot of anger in me to finally change my eating on the weekend. I think with the right foods on the menu, I may regain 1 pound because of sodium intake, but with a cocktail, I'll regain 3 pounds during the weekend alone! Tonight, I ordered water with lemon and I ate toast (you can ask for just bread and salad with dressing on the side so you can control the amount of dressing you want). I was really proud of myself. The yo-yo with my weight (lose five pounds in a week, regain 3 on the weekend, lose the 3 again during the week, etc) is frustrating me, and I am getting really tired of it. I had lost almost 30 pounds in a year, and then I regained 7 around Valentine's day, and have had trouble returning to where I have left off. The weekend weight gain has brought on this difficulty, and adds unnecessary stress to losing weight. There is a goal that we've set for ourselves, and we need to give it extra attention during the weekend.

    Let's "survive" the weekend together so we can reach our end goal!

    My hubby and I went to the Chinese buffet today. I worked out before, drank water with the meal, and saved calories by not eating other meals today. I just had coffee and a Fiber One bar this morning, and then we went to eat around 2:00. Then I wasn't hungry afterward. I guess if I had been hungry I would have had a salad or fruit for a late snack, but that wasn't an issue.

    I suppose there are fitness experts out there who will tell you that this isn't the BEST way to eat, but for the occasional splurge, I think it's okay. I was just barely over my calories today. For me, the bottom line is to make sure it's worth it, and then make accomodations for it.

    I work weekends graveyard shift so I don't go out or get tempted in anyway. I just treat it like a normal workday and pack my lunch and go to work. I used to "misplace" my wallet alot to avoid the tempation of going on a late night fast food binge while @ work. if I didn't have my wallet, I didn't have $. No $ no fast food!

    I find that drinking alcohol does the worst damage on the weekend. Even "light" alcoholic beverages have the same reaction as heavy ones. If you are a drinker, try to do without it. You'll be happier you did.
