Let’s talk weekend overeating —
It’s hard! So hard! You eat so well all week. Meal prep, good portions, hydration, etc. And then Friday comes around..and boom! The discipline is gone. There are so many reasons for this to happen week after week but let’s instead focus on ways to break this weekend cycle.
1. Aim for atleast “good effort”.. Sometimes things are not perfect on the weekend and that’s fine. What’s perfect mean anyway? Most of the time we think “perfect eating” or “junk food”. It’s truly not that simple. Anyhow, find the balance! This may look like ordering that fatty burger you’re craving but subbing out sides for veggies and water. Balance.
2. Stop the “cheat day” mindset. Again, find a balance. Teach yourself to fulfill the cravings (in moderation - yes moderation!) throughout the week to avoid binging over the weekend. Also, if you’re enjoying your favorite foods/drinks in moderation - you lose the negative mindset/guilt of considering it “cheating” on your diet.
3. Don’t justify your excuses. Hold yourself accountable! Yes, this one is hard. If your goal is ultimately weight loss, then you should always prioritize this goal. Yes, we have bad days, cravings, stress eat, etc. It happens. Yes, we can enjoy things in moderation.. but, understand you could be moving further away from your goal(s) if your meaning of moderation is actually daily. Stay focused on the goal and challenge yourself. Cravings are hard but you got this!
