Generally speaking, my diet falls apart during the weekend. Fortunately, I eat extremely healthy five to six days out of the week, so I am still able to lose weight. Unfortunately, the problem of situational eating still exists for me, and I really need to figure out how to stop splurging whenever I hang out with friends or family.
Does this happen to anyone else? You do really well with eating during the day, and then when you go out with some friends at night, one harmless buffalo wing turns into a gorge fest. A majority of my binges happen under these kind of circumstances, and it is always progressive. In fact, I can't remember the last time I started binging when I was alone.
So, I think there is probably a chance that my experiment with clean eating will come to an end this weekend. I hope it doesn't, but I'm just trying to be realistic here.
The more I think about eating clean, the more I like the idea of it. I believe that if I am able to stay strong, eventually, my cravings for cookies and fried chicken will go away. In all honesty, I don't remember the last time I really enjoyed junk food. I eat it because I give in to temptation, or because I want to satisfy a craving, or because I'm binging, and I need to eat more to feed my temporary state of addiction.
My body always has a negative reaction when I eat crap, and mentally, I feel drained as well.
So, maybe I should just give it all up...
Ah, if only life were that easy :).
BTW, did anyone see Bob's meltdown on
The Biggest Loser this week? It was pretty much the funniest thing I have seen on reality TV in a while.
