Weekend Weight Gains

[Ange89 0]

Im a stay at home mom, my boyfriend works monday through friday sometimes he will be gone the whole day so it's easy for me to stay on track eating good through those days but as soon as the weekend comes it goes down hill, we tend to go out to eat alot on the weekends or if were out for a while we'll stop at fast food resturants... i tend to alwasy end up over eating and also eatting the bad things, even when we dont go out on the weekends i alaways tend to cook up a storm also and not eat very good things =/ i just dont understand what snaps in my head on the weekends or when my boyfriend is around sometimes i even dread the weekends because when monday comes i see the difference on the scale and sometimes i wont get back on track for a week !! Does anyone else have these problems and is there any suggestions please?? i'm still battling with my self in july i will be 1 year post op with only about 40 lbs lost

Is your boyfriend trying to help you and maybe even make some healthier choices himself? Or is he just a cheeseburger type of guy and you are on your own? I am assuming you have kids together and that you would both want to have a healthier lifestyle for your kids...

He tries but not all the time, if he makes french toast he'll offer me some and i give him that look, he tends to forget im trying to not eat that stuff,he's fine with the way i am but i try to tell him im not fine with the way i am ,he can eat all he wants and not really gain weight ,so it's hard for him to understand me, he does try tho sometimes, he'll want chinese food but wont get it because he feels its not fair to me, so when the weekend comes i feel like okay i can eat some unhealthy stuff and go back to eating good on monday but i always over do it..., i guess i have to learn i can still have a good time eating healthy and picking healther choices that are still good, im still trying to rearrange my process in thinking about the foods i eat,im thinking if were on the road i should probaly start packing a small lunch for myself....

I hear ya honey! we all have temptation like that. My husband eats whatever he wants and its VERY hard for me. We have to not look at food as entertainment, fun, ect, . we have to EAT to LIVE.......NOT LIVE TO EAT. I'm in the same boat with you....we have to do it for us nobody else can. Hang in there!

The thing is I still eat all the crappy food if I feel like it, but just not much of it, and Protein first. I dont eat any diet or low fat or fake sugar food so even if I ate Chinese food or McDonalds all day I just cant eat enough of it to have trouble...do you think you might need a fill?

I battle my "weekend fat girl" all the time! LOL! My husband is supportive but continues to eat poorly. We have always been each others enablers. Plus we've always used food as a reward or made food an "event". It is very difficult. My husband was away on business for 2 weeks. I lost 8 pounds. The weekend he came home, I GAINED 5 pounds!!!! You can be sure, I now have a very clear view of the problem and I know what to do about it. I need to kick my will power into a higher gear! But I've gotta say, all this Easter candy in the stores isn't masking it any easier!
