🌿 Weekends don't ruin progress, the "Weekends Don't Count" mindset does.
A lot of weekend spirals happen for 3 reasons:
1) No structure (meal timing changes, you skip meals)
2) Reward mindset (“I earned this… so anything goes”)
3) Long hunger gaps → cravings get louder at night
So instead of trying to be strict, use anchors (structure without restriction):
✅ 1 Anchor Meal: protein-forward breakfast
✅ 1 Anchor Habit: a short walk
This is what keeps the weekend from turning into a “reset Monday” pattern.
💬 Which one hits you most on weekends: skipping meals, treat mindset, or late-night cravings?
