Sunday's are the hardest

Sundays are the hardest! I’ve talked to a lot of people who say they eat healthy all week then it all goes to hell on the weekend. I’m guilty of this too. I used to always say that I just can’t control myself on the weekends with everything going on and especially at family dinners at mom’s house on Sundays. During the week is tough but I at least have a work schedule where I can manage my meals. On the weekends you’re always coming and going and it’s hard to grab something healthy out on the run. So I’ve had to learn to prepare in advance. With church meetings on Sundays I make sure I eat good meals before church and right after to avoid the urge to binge eat. I’ll take healthy snacks with me if I don’t have time to run home between meetings. For mom’s house or family gatherings I’ll either pack my food with me or eat a good meal before I go, depending on how long I’ll be away from home. This helps me with portion control and the self-control to avoid 2nd and 3rd helpings. I’ve also had to have uncomfortable conversations at first when people would ask why I wasn’t eating, or what was I eating. That way come Monday morning I feel great about the weekend and ready for a new week. So today has been a good day so far. Hope ya’ll are having the same luck.
