Joyful Eating

If you’re trying to stop weekend weight gain, you’ll know this loop.

On weekends, I overindulge. Monday morning the scale’s up. Then it goes back down. Round and round.

For me, because I just want to maintain my weight, I don’t mind the rhythm.

But if you’re after a weight loss trajectory, that weekly bump can keep you stuck for good.

So this week, we’re looking at why why weekend weight gain happens and how to interrupt it.

If you’ve been wondering how to stop overeating in social situations, you’re not alone. One of my clients posted in the Naturally Healthy Club group this week.

She’d been doing brilliantly for three weeks eating at home and her usual restaurant meals. The scale was moving. She felt great. She wasn’t missing out on anything.

Then she went to a birthday party. Lunch got delayed. The chips and dips came out. And she completely overdid it.

Sound familiar?

There’s nothing wrong with you. You have a normal human brain doing what human brains do. Social situations can be genuinely hard to navigate.

If you’ve ever wondered ‘Should I eat if I’m not hungry?’. The conventional answer is NO. Wait until you’re hungry.

Don’t touch food unless your stomach tells you to.

It sounds logical. And I get why people say it.

But that rule can lead to overeating. And worse, missing out on some of the most enjoyable parts of our experiences with food.

Personally I eat when I’m not hungry on the regular. It actually helps me stay at my favourite weight with ease and joy.

Here’s why I think you should experiment with it too.
