so i have been eating well for about 3 months and saw some change on scale still working on getting work outs in. I have a major issue i need some advice. I am terrible about eating out or not eating well on the weekends. I always tell myself i will eat right and then i end up going to get fast food after grocery shopping etc. i know that this is a self commitment issue but just looking for advice

any ideas on how to keep myself in check on the weekends??

    Plan your meals! It's not something I am good at but if I plan my day in advance I am more likely to stay on track...especially on the weekends when I don't have to pack my lunch for work and I am home.

    Also, if you know after grocery shopping, etc. is a weak point then eat before you go and bring a healthy snack...or give into the craving but eat reasonable and count it.

    Plan your meals and eat before you go shopping! Keep up the positive attitude & don't give up. You have to tell yourself you don't need that fast food. I found planning my meals even weekly to start really helps.

    When you say you're eating well during the week, are you actually eating well or are you starving and depriving yourself? Because I've found that I am much better at being consistent every single day if I am making reasonable choices that include treats and good macro ratios.

    I dont starve myself at all i eat about 1400 cal a day i never feel hungry during the week. I just dont do much on the weekends outside of cleaning my apartment and grocery shopping. i drink 6-10 glasses of water a day.
