They could be like, "put the milk down and back away from the ds oreos!"
Help!

    I'd be glad to help you through the weekend. I don't let myself even think that I can indulge on the weekend. :smile: It would be so easy to ruin all my hard work I did over the week. You need to just stay focused and stay away from the oreos! Cindy :heart:

    I found what works for me is to weigh myself on Fridays. If I've had a "good" week then it encourages me to not go food crazy on the weekend. If I've had a "bad" week then it helps me to not make things worse by eating too much on the weekend.

    I can only tell you my experience, and that was the weekends are included:wink:

    Sorry, no gives
    no do overs...

    Just plain hard work.

    I can also tell you it is worth every moment of hard work to look in the mirror and know it is all because of the choices you made, 7 days a week.

    Good luck to ya!:flowerforyou:

    I found that if I have a full cheat day I end up falling off the wagon. It's like once my body gets a taste my midset goes out the window!

    I had a bad weekend this weekend too. It was, however, my son's birthday. I'm not normally surrounded by cake, ice cream, pizza, etc. No excuse though! I'm so thankful for this site, b/c it kicks my butt right back into gear!!

    I take a kickboxing class on Saturday, and let me tell you - that really helps. Burns 700 calories (so I can eat pretty much anything - even go out to dinner) so I stay under for that day, and Sunday I'm still in recovery mode and really need to rest, so I just have to try to stay under on that one day. One day of good behavior works much better than having two days to be on good behavior.

    My clients have a hard time on weekends too,
    I usually recommend that they get a weekend routine going!
    Seems to help them keep on track.

    I find that I am under a great deal of stress most of the week..dieting and excersizing included. I allow for a small "splash" on one weekend day. But always incorporate my "cheating" into my net calories per day plan. So if we will be going out for BBQ dinner that night, I keep super low caoric intake all day and work out extra hard that day and the next to make sure I burn whatever I ate/drank.

    I don't know if this is the way it is for you, but I'm busier on the weekends. This is why I tend to gravitate to those kinds of foods...convenience. Because I'm busier, I do a lot of mindless eating too. So I have a pantry full of protein bars. Instead of worrying about making a meal, I grab a bar. It fixes two problems....the meal and a sweet craving because usually the bars are sweeter.

    It would be hard to only have 1 or 2 oreos, so they just are not allowed in the house yet. Not until I have a bit more self-control. Out of sight, out of mind right?:smile:
