Dieting on Weekends

On weekends, it is very hard to stay on top of your diet. During the weekdays, most of us out there, are routine robots. We get up at an early, unfashionable time, 5:30 am, eat breakfast, brush our teeth, comb our hair, put on clothes and put a mask on our face, all in 1 hour to face our daily car rage of traffic. Working all day at work, keeps you busy to forget about dieting. It's a daily routine.

When Friday is here, we start to think about what are we going to do of our time to relax. And we start to think, on how it would be great, to eat out and enjoy those precious moments that we earned that working week. We start to forget about our diet and we want something to be rewarded because you did good all week and you deserve that cheesecake or chocolate brownie. It is hard to turn something down, though we earned something that we liked to be rewarded.

I didn't do so good this weekend. I ordered myself Chinese Beef Egg Fu Young and 2 Chicken Egg Rolls with all the fatty sauce that comes with it. I knew ahead of time that ordering these foods were bad, but I wanted it. I deserved it. I wanted to be rewarded. I didn't think of responsible on having these foods would do to me afterwards like gaining 4 lbs. on what I lost.

It is called WILL POWER, which is hard to control. Everyone has it in yourself, you just need to find it. STOP and ask yourself, why you want to lose weight. You need to have a good reason deep down within you of why you need to lose weight. As soon as you figure that out, write on a piece of paper and stick it on your fridge, your car, your desk at work and in your wallet or purse. Sounds silly, but it will remind you at all time that this reason will make a huge difference in your life. This desire will kick in the will power you need to make the lifestyle change. From there you can depend on plain routine to reinforce your dietary and lifestyle habits for a permanent weight loss.
