Well, I'm not exactly a newbie anymore, but I have the SAME EXACT 
PROBLEM on the weekends.... I do "pretty" well on the weekdays. I 

never have full-blown snacks, but I may have a "bite" of something 

between meals to get me to the next meal if it is a few hours away. 
But come the weekend, it's like the rules disappear altogether. I'll 
eat till I'm full at meals, eat snacks anytime I want, and then I'll 
go and buy myself a treat or two, like ice cream, cookies, or candy 
bars. The problem is, I "inhale" the treat, whatever it is. If it's 

cookies, I'll eat half the package, If ice cream, I eat the whole 
package if it's a pint, or 1/3 to 1/2 the package if a half-gallon. 
Then, of course, I'll come back to it later or next day so it's all 
gone by the end of the weekend. I know this follows the letter of the 
nosdiet rules, but I just *know* that I must be undoing any good that 
I achieve during the week. And I walk almost every day (usually 3 
miles), and do shovelglove 5x a week. But I have not really lost any 
net pounds after about a month.

I have a feeling that the relaxed rules for the weekends is too 
liberal for me and my personality. But if I make it too strict, human 
nature will make me rebel and resent it. So what can I do to add more 
discipline to my s-days?
