Why are WEEKENDS so hard to stay on track ?

[Cavycrazy]

Am I the only one who struggles on weekends ? I find it so much easier to stick to my points at work in the week but come the weekend, temptations lurk on every corner.

Oh the weekends absolutely kill me!! I find them so difficult!

Like you, Im fine during the week because Im at work and have set break times and am too occupied to think about food but the weekends I find I really struggle - the fridge calls me!!

I try to save as many points as possible during the week for this but find I do sometimes go over at the weekend and end up having to pay back..

I found saving 4 a day during the week when I was on 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22 points but now that Im on 20 a day I find living on 16 a day during the week really hard and seldom get to save the full 4. AAARRGGHH

Glad Im not the only one though!!

Im lucky in that I work most weekends so my 'danger zone' is my days off which are mid week. Thankfully some fall on a Monday, my treat night tho

I hate the weekends cos my B>F is home and he eats like a horse and is as thin as a rake! grrrrrrrrr

I find it really hard to stick to plan because he is always eating and snacking ! .. Oh well ill be sitting on my hands i think!

So long as I stay away from alcohol Im not too bad. If I drink at all I have a devil on either shoulder.....my angel is generally tied up somewhere!!

I find weekends awful. With two young children (5 and 18 months) I feel like I am constantly cooking for them and they are constantly eating. When I give my children their lunch/tea anything that isn't eatten goes straight in the bin to stop me from wanting to pick.

If it is too bad I just have a glass of water or a coffee (which I am allowed on SF). I know I am more lucky than most as I do get to eat one meal a day but weekends are a killer.

Good luck everyone.

Hows everyone else finding things so far this morning!

Jools i know what you mean about food always being on the go! My kids are 14 10 and almost 3 .... and one of them is always hungry! so theres always toast biccies etc on the go ggrrrrr
