Weekends are so hard!

I gained two pounds over the weekend. Mostly because I was with the family and eating whenever I had a chance. Real life happens. I try to be good on the week days to make up for it.

i can totally relate! but i dont beat myself up over it either. we just get tired of cooking all week that we want to relax on the weekends and try to make healthy choices...if not, we excercise to make up for it. :happy:

Here is my thing, I am not on a diet. I am committed to living a healthier lifestyle. I tried for too long to be on a diet, killing myself and never eating what I wanted. After a while I would get tired of it and go on a 2-3 week binge and gain all the weight I had spent the previous 2-3 months losing. I realized that this is not a race, this is just life. You commit to eating better, that doesn't mean you never have the things you want (even if they are horribly high in calories/carbs/fat/etc), it means that most of the time you make conscious choices to eat and live better. Don't have a diet mindset and you will not beat yourself up over this kind of stuff, just remind yourself everyday that you want to live better.

The real problem I have on the weekend is getting enough water. I do great during the week while I'm at my desk, but I never get enough on the weekends.
