Step 28

Step 28 ….The weekends!
Wow... weekends! Anyone have trouble with this? We stick to our routine all week and now we feel it is time to let loose!
Now is the time to prepare. Just face it; we tend to want to eat a little more on the weekends. Do I see nodding?
A tip. Why not on Thursday or Friday start planning your meals? You can also plan your snacks.
To me weekends are scary! I know I will be out of my norm either eating out or traveling. I also tend to be at home a little more.
Start your day out right. Eat a healthy breakfast on the weekend. You usually eat less during the day if you start with a healthy breakfast.
Don't go hungry because you are eating out tonight. This usually backfires and you usually end up eating more than you would have if you ate normally. Have something to eat before you go out to take the edge off your hunger. This is said often at Weight Watchers.
Avoid overdoing it with alcohol.
Remember your waistline. Wear a tighter pair of pants when you go out on the weekend. This has been said at our WW meetings!
This is a time to make this a life time journey, not just the week long journey! This is a time to reread the steps and get all reinforce in your weight loss. So please stay focus and remain on track. Read step 12 and reinforce your strong mind set. Be sure and read step 11 on triggers. You have done well all week. Don’t let these 2 little periods of time undo what you have accomplished!
Keep on keeping on……making better choices for a healthier you!
