Another weekend is coming and this means I completely lose everything I did during the week. I’m not someone that has one bad day. I cycle through Friday, Saturday and sometimes Sunday with bad eating and drinking habits. How did any of you break this cycle or do you have a similar struggle?

Eliminate/reduce alcohol, my friend. Your mind and body will function so much better.

If you need to get high, I'd suggest edibles.

Are you restricting yourself too much during the week?

I don’t think so. I watch what I eat and I don’t drink during the week. Mostly because I’m just busy

Drinking wise, I started doing 1-2 alcoholic drinks then switched to diet Sprite. Then eventually I switched to la croix. It took a few months but now I’m really content with 1-2 drinks. Also if you drink wine at home, get a Coravin so you’re not “wasting” the bottle

Food wise, I have a salad for lunch on the weekends and go ham at dinner. I get the binge I need to make this feel sustainable and have less guilt because I had a healthy lunch

I did similarly to reduce drinking alcohol except I stopped drinking alcohol entirely. If you’re a woman read Quitting like a Woman, unlikely to be completely on point but has an interesting perspective.

I plan ahead. If I know I’m going to be out later in the day with friends.. I’ll leave X calories available. You will def go over lmao, but it’s good to give that buffer. Luckily it’s only Saturday for me

Yeah or just work out at home. I work out at home every day for about 30 min just simple stuff like pushups, squats, yoga.. and go to the gym when I can. Which ends up being anywhere from 0-7 times a week. There I will run around the track, lift weights, shoot hoops, swim etc. But I don’t let the transaction of getting to the gym get in the way of at least some activity.

One cheat day is not the end of the world, it’s the multiple “bad” days that can be concerning.

I stopped drinking heavily on Friday night because I wanted to actually enjoy my Saturday, get a workout in, spend quality time with my wife, etc. etc.

Think about the future losses you are incurring by overindulging in booze. Plus hangovers are the biggest self-own.

You can do it!

Change your environment for a few weekends. Different place, different people.

And skip the alcohol for a few weekends. Call it a cleanse when you talk to friends. Go to a class where you won’t have as much free range to snacks and drinks. Go on a long walk/hike.
