How do you all deal with weekend food? (beehaw.org)

I'm driving myself nuts eating like a little piggy every weekend even though I eat really healthy during the week. I even like my healthy food so it isn't like I'm depriving myself. But I meal prep for M-F and don't have it in me to cook on weekends so I eat tons of junk. So, does anyone else do this? Did anyone else get over this? Do you have some other food woes you want to get off your chest? Or some other random thing you would like to discuss?

My partner has had similar issues - being scared of pasta definitely rings true. When you start to think about it and notice it, the amount of mental energy and emotion people expend worrying about food is pretty awful. The diet industry's advertising is extraordinarily pervasive too.

I'm glad you feel like you can talk about it here. Online spaces are so often aggressive to the idea that food shouldn't be constantly top of mind.
