Weekends

Why is it that the weekends are always the hardest for dieting?

At least for me.

During the week I have a lot of STRUCTURE. I get up, go to work all day, come home to exercise and then go to bed.

I can keep on track without any real problems.

But on the weekends, when I have more time on my hands, I've also realized I have more time to EAT FOR NO REASON other than I'M BORED!

I can only exercise SO much so I need other mind-controlling things to do.

I've been reading a lot, but that kind of always make me want to snack.

I've been exercising, but that only makes me hungrier!

On the weekends I need to do all the things I can't do during the week due to work obligations, such as grocery shop - there's a diet buster for you! - laundry, ironing, cleaning the house, etc.

After a while, I just want to eat something to break up the tedium.

I realize this is a big problem, because boredom, tedium, whatever name you give to it is definitely a diet killer.

I KNOW I need to keep journaling on the weekends;

I KNOW I need to keep on track with proteins, fast and slow carbs.

I KNOW I need to keep exercising - this is actually getting easier, thank you Jesus!

I know all these things and I still want a cookie.

Does this ever get easier? Will I EVER not want to eat junk?

AM I just being a baby? Shouldn't I do what I tell everyone else to do and just SUCK IT UP! Get on with the program and stop obsessing about what I can and can not eat; GROW UP even!

Okay, that felt better.

Sometimes you just have to yell at yourself to break thru the crap.

Okay, going for a walk now. That will help.
