    the weekends are always hard for me too. I'm going to try this weekend to keep some low cal snacks in my purse. Usually we are out and about and end up eating out somewhere. I think if I have some snacks and try to space out my eating, I won't endulge when it does come time to eat out. Best of luck to you... I know how you feel.

    Take pictures of you at your biggest and tape it to every "no-no" food in your house. I have a 4-year-old son, so there's a lot of goodies at my house, but a nice picture of my pudgy self on the cupboard door. Keeps me from getting caught with my hand in the cookie jar.

    I just eat the same as I eat during the week. The stuff I pack to eat for my lunches is the same as what's at my house on the weekends since that's where it came from. And I cook the same stuff for dinner on the weekends that I do on the weeknights, though maybe a little bit less rushed.

    If I go out, then I just look ahead to where I'm going and plan accordingly off of the menu. If it's someplace that truly has no healthy options that fit in my plan, I eat something before I go and then just hang out and enjoy the good times.

    I idulge on the weekend. Saturday and Sunday I eat whatever and I don't log my calories. I am eating at maintenance calories now since I am at goal weight but I took the weekends off while I was losing also. It isn't for everyone but it worked for me and I have maintained a 130lbs loss for over a year now.

    I treat myself a tad bit but I make sure to get extra sleep and then be productive and squeeze in extra work outs.

    Drink water, stay active, get out of the house. These help me. If i get a real sweet craving I pour a cup of tea with a spoonful of honey. (which i find to be very sweet thanks to a diet without super refined sugars)

    Well, it's the weekend, so if you have extra time for indulging, then you have extra time for exercising too!

    I indulge every day ... ice cream, red wine ... just another day for me ... keep the principles constant but cut some slack daily.

    I sometimes like to indulge on weekends. This weekend will definitely include indulging as I'm flying up for a football game. :drinker:

    Hi, I also have the same problem, I think of the weekend as relaxation for everything including food. If I am out I usually pick the lowest calorie in the menu, or I take home left overs on purpose. I also like to keep a protein bar in my purse just in case. Hope it helps!
    Good luck! You can do it!
