Cheat days vs bingeing? The line is blurry however it likely feels bad coming out of either. We\\u2019ve all been there. If you\\u2019re feeling especially awful, below are some tips to stop the cycle.\\xa0

Tip 1: Get ahead of the curve

Are you excited about your weekday meals or are they all the same and bland-tasting? You may be building excitement for all the foods you can eat on the weekends. It\\u2019s a lot of pent-up excitement.

Idea: Sprinkle in more excitement during the week i.e. try an exciting recipe or takeout in the middle of the week.

Tip 2: Evaluate your cheat/binge foods

Zoom in on the experience of eating those foods.

Can you notice the moment of diminishing returns? After repeatedly noticing those moments, can you eventually take action?

Tip 3: Try to not beat yourself up for it too much

You don\\u2019t have to start fresh, you don\\u2019t have to punish yourself with oatmeal and salads everyday for the next week (if you don\\u2019t like those foods). Continue to find joy and excitements in the foods that you\\u2019re eating. Otherwise, you\\u2019ll just continue to the cycle of pent-up excitement on the weekends.
