I think that on the weekends, we aren't working - we have more time at home - and more time to think about food. What works for me is to plan my food in the morning what I will eat during the day. I write it down (well actually I use thedailyplate.com) and make sure i have my protein requirements met. Then I just stick to the plan. Helps keep me from the temptation to graze.

Yeah the weekends are the worst for me too. I think it is because we are at home in our comfort zone and not working and staying busy. If I gain weight it is usually on the weekend. All I can say is that you need to fill your home with healthy snacking choices as much as possible.

I know me and I know that if I know there is bad stuff in the kitchen (sweets and other junk food) that I will find myself grazing all day all weekend long. So with that being said I get all that crap out of the house. Then if I want it, I actually have to leave and go to the store to get it. I pray that between my house and the store I play "that tape" all the way through and realize that eating whatever it is I am going to buy is only going to give me short term gratification and cause me to pissed at myself the next day when the scale goes up.
