Beginning to hate weekends!

I have realized now (starting into my 10th week of this diet) that I am beginning to hate weekends.  Not really but when food is involved I do.  This past weekend was a really good weekend.  Although I could have done a whole lot worse on my food, I could have done a whole lot better.  So Saturday night by the time my husband and I got to eat supper we were both so starved that we were just ready to eat.  We didn't care where or how much, we were just ready to eat.  Where did we go????  The most dangerous place anyone can go to eat who is trying to lose weight.....a BUFFET!  That's right, we went to Golden Corral.  My husband didn't do all that bad.  He started off with a healthy salad, then moved on to some healthy veges and lean beef.  When he finally finished he ended up eating on 3 oatmeal raisin cookies.  Me on the other hand.....I started off with fried popcorn shrimp, a piece of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, mac n' cheese, a garlic cheese biscuit and a yeast roll.  Can I tell you that I loved every single bite of it too!  I even left the skin on the piece of chicken (my favorite part).  It was WONDERFUL.  After I finished that plate I was feeling pretty full and decided not to go back for seconds on the regular food but to hit the dessert bar.  I had some vanilla ice cream with caramel poured over top.  Then after that I went back up there and got a mini cup cake with icing, and 3 cookies.  I ate all of it except for the ice cream....didn't eat all of it.  By the time I finished I was wishing I could just go somewhere and puke.  All that food that tasted so great was making me so sick and I just kept saying - This was so stupid of us.  Of course we went home right after that and because of my Carb high, I went straight to bed where I spent the rest of my evening/night sleeping.  Then comes Sunday.  All of you know by now that Sunday is our worst day just because we are not at home at all and usually eat out both meals on Sunday.  Well yesterday was no exception.  We went to one of our local favorite restaurants and I did very well there.  But afterwards, I told Chris I wanted a milkshake from Cookout and of course he didn't say NO.  So we both ate a whole milkshake a piece.  It was so delicious but again I was so miserable.  I did however this time go into the gym at church with our kids an played some basketball with them so at least I burned a few calories.  Then for supper, we ate mexican.  I didn't do to bad there....just 1 taco, some rice, and a few chips with salsa.  Back to Monday and back on track.  I love having a planned schedule for my meals.  I love knowing exactly how many calories I have taken in each day.  I hope that when I weigh in this Thursday, that I will have gone down a few pounds since I didn't move last week.  This is REAL life.  This is what I will be dealing with the remainder of my life where food is concerned.  I truly want to overcome the temptations that I face and I know with God's help I will.  The old saying of doing something 21 days makes it a habit.  Well I can say that is true for somethings I have done but where sweets are concerned it is so not true.  I crave sweets after every meal, every single day of my life.  I have to overcome and I will!  I encourage you all if you are trying to lose weight to keep a daily food journal.  It is very easy to "forget" even small things that you have eaten but if you are writing it all down you won't be able to.  Not only does it hold you accountable for what you put in your mouth, it also gives you a sense of accomplishment when you look at it at the end of the day and see that you did not exceed your calories for that day.  It is a lot of work, but it is worth it.
