- Whacky Sacle - weekly wrap up

[Guest guest]

Most of my eating on Sunday is just snacking at home -

I go crazy, particularly in the late

afternoon/evening. I think it is something about

dreading the end of the weekend and the start of the

upcoming week.

On Sat/Sun we may or may not go out - we'll just have

a larger than normal dinner on Sat. And, for some

reason I just get it into my head that it is the

weekend and I should treat myself so all the stuff

that is stuff I avoid during the week calls my name

very loudly!

I agree you do need to treat yourself occassionally.

What I'd like to do is:

Enjoy my Friday night dinner/wine

Enjoy my Sat night dinner/wine/dessert

Enjoy one treat on Sunday

That would only be 2 heavier than usual meals and one

treat - I think that would be okay, wouldn't it?

I do need to be more careful during the week

sometimes, too.

I'm about an inch shorter than you - I'm a wee bit

under 5'6 "

Take care, you're doing great with your weight, too!
