For me I used to say 'Well I'm already over calories, there's no way to 'save' this day now, so I might as well eat more...' It ain't over till it's over, if you cheat, you need to train yourself to stop as soon as you realized you crossed the line! Remove the temptations if you can, otherwise it will be up to you to make sure you keep from reaching into that cookie jar. Every time you reach for that snack, ask yourself if you're really hungry!
Find something to do that interests you on the weekends! I would eat on the weekends out of boredom...sitting in front of my computer being lazy! I took up sewing on the weekends, and made it a point to schedule a visit with my mom every Sunday to get me out of the house. Even going to the mall and walking around window-gazing and people-watching (but not buying anything) will get you away from the temptation! If you prefer solitude, go to a local park or national park and just stroll down their hiking trail--nothing intense, just you and your thoughts and maybe your IPod!
