thanks guys! I just like to indulge on the weekends, but I need to practice moderation with it. Im going to try some of the suggestions. This weekend I had chips(the healthier gourmet ones=250cals) Ben and jerrys low fat fro-yo(400 cals for 1/2 pint), half a dixie cup, and a bunch of caramel chocolate toffees(350 cals). It all adds up. those were just calories from my snacks!!

It may also have something to do with your body being hungry. If you're only eating 1,500 calories the rest of the time, your body isn't getting all of the calories it needs so you'll be more likely to binge and overeat when you stop paying such close attention. You should raise your intake to no less than 1,800 calories every day.

try not to keep certain foods that you will eat . Think before you eat it and say do I really want that . or am i just bored . workout ,read , paint , go on spark teens do anything that will you forget about it. make sure you are getting all your calories.

I have the same problem!! With me i was eating things like chocolate and chips wayy to much. it's just a matter of getting sweet healthy treats that will fulfill your craving for sweet. When ever i get a craving for candy or chocolate i eat a caramel chocolate chip rice cake. and if it's chips your craving substitute them for rice crackers, or rice chips they come in just as many flavours as chips but they are 10 times better for you. With eating dinner and lunch, drink a glass or bottle of water beforehand, that will fill you up, and make you feel fuller so you'll eat less. as for exercise, you should find exercising easier during the weekend because you have more time, if you have less time then go for a walk or even a walk around the mall is burning calories. add the weight of a few new pairs of jeans or some new tops and then your burning even more. =)

I eat healthfully the whole week, sunday through thursday, and exercise daily. Saturday, though, is my downfall. we have more treats in the house because we go the food shopping on friday and like to have unhealthy treats once a week. I find that i eat wayyy more calories than normal on saturday. like 2,500+. thats 1000 more than i normally have!! I have a small but healthy breakfast, a larger lunch, but with tons of veggies and a couple small snacks, dinner, dessert and then a couple more things later on. It all adds up to crazy numbers. what should I do??
