Why are wk ends so hard?

[neesh 0]

Anybody else have this issue. I do good all wk dieting working out doing good. Even though I am loosing slowly and not gaining I still want to learn to eat right on the wk ends just as I do during the wk. When im out it's so hard and at parties and things like that. What do you all do on wk ends I can't just not go anywhere I tried that once also.

Weekends are always hard for me because I'm not as occupied as I am during the week.

During the week my day is filled with activities (aka work) so I don't have a lot of time to think about food. Weekends though...hoo...lots of free time to get into food trouble.

What I've tried to do is stick to a schedule even on weekends and just fill the time with activities. I took up the Cello so I have that to practice an hour or so each day. I quilt and so I've started working on some of that again. Yesterday, I spent 3 hours planting peas in my garden and I think I'm going to expand my garden this year now that I can actually bend over without pain and bonus...it will keep me occupied.

The trick is to find things that occupy our minds *and* our hands. I can't sit and read a book because I want to munch. So I get a book on tape and go for a walk or work in the garden or quilt or something that also occupies the hands.

Trust me I know. I am on my 4th month of unemployment, so every day is a weekend and a challenge. Best advice that works for me is to stay away from T.V. Its all food commercials, and it triggers something in me that tells me I need food.< /p>

I try to occupy my time outside, washing cars, working in yard. If its still cold then I have been trying to go to mall and walk, even Wal Mart. Just to make the day go by without grazing.
