So, lets have pizza on Friday nights, out to eat Saturday nights, movie and popcorn somewhere in there and of course a big Sunday dinner. Yikes! The weekends can kill every diet and every good healthy choice we just made during the last week.
Remedy? Have a plan. We know the weekend is coming up and possible uncontrollable eating. But, it is possible to make it through the weekend successfully, without feeling deprived, if we have a plan. If you know there will be pizza then decide ahead of time how many pieces you will eat. Perhaps 2 slices instead of 4, or 1 slice instead of 3...
If we try to go without then we will experience more stress that will do more harm than eating the pizza. Self pity will just result in over eating. But as we continue make healthy choices, that pizza will no longer look appealing.
This is just one example. Whatever your weekend trigger is, plan ahead and decide what portion you will have if any. You will be thrilled to make it through the weekend successfully!
