I agree with leggup... fattening is a word I really detest (my mother-in-law uses it all the time). That said, I feel the same way about weekends... they are a time to relax and in my mind that includes food. However, eating right is about taking care of ourselves and achieving goals.

FitKam90, I completely understand about the cultural pressures... it can be really difficult to sort through all that. I'll piggyback on my own post from last night.

If you're starting to strength train, I'd recommend paying attention to other measurements besides the number on the scale such as body fat percentage, waist circumference, or even how much you can lift.
