    Hey, I set myself up for the weekends. Every Monday morning I go to the following Saturday and quick add 2,500 calories. Then work the rest of the week around it haha. This only works if you're at a moderate deficit though.

    OMG ..I'm the same way. Doing great throughout the week and then the weekend comes and ....total frustration on sunday evening over yet another weekend of self sabotage. It makes everything I worked so hard for all week go right out the window in just two days of weak will power :( but this is the last weekend. Next Saturday and Sunday I will keep myself busy to where I don't have time to overeat.

    I find prelogging the weekend to help me keep within my goals. (: If I'm going out for dinner, I just look at the menu and nutrition info online so I can work the rest of my meals around that.

    I get salad meals at chic Fil a to help with meals

    And my heavy lift days where I eat at maintain levels are Fri Sat Sun.

    Kind of matching my weakness for weekend splurges with muscle building days

    It isn't giving up, it is minimizing the damage?

    Ha! Ha!

    Good luck

    I'm the same way I spend half the week making up for the weekend. I feel your pain and it's very frustrating. I think it's cuz on the weekends the kids and i have no schedule.

    @jlgregory13 I agree. I belive no schedule is my downfall too. Just ordered 21 day fix (have been doing hybrid version - w/o the exercise part for 14 days). Hopefully doing the exercise program and eating plan together will work to keep me organized and on track for the weekend as well. :)

    my other thing is I like to catch up on my sleep in the weekend too. that means I don't get up til the kids do and then can't get much of anything done.

    Story of my life. Try a token you keep with you as a reminder. Rub it when you are feeling the urge to indulge :)

    Good idea Rax1974. I might just have to give that a try.
