Yes, I eat more during weekends. It seems that doing the household chores, tend to make me eat more. Or was it because I am relaxed and not stressed from work. I guess, it’s both. But I don’t really mind as long as I compensate it with household chores such cleaning the house , the bath etc.

the biggest cheesburger - the biggest cheesburger. It can help for my hunger
For me it is the opposite. I eat when I'm stressed or when I had a tiring day. Expecially when I come back from work or gym I'm very hungry and I have the wish to eat everything I see on the table. I know it's not very healthy ahha. Have a nice day! cheers :)

Yes when I go to the gym, I consume a lot of enery expecially when I do for two hours. My job isn't very physical but it's more mental, but even brain work consume some energy even less than a physical one. I like a lot eating so I try to work more in gym to don't have too much sacrifice eating.

Well that explains for your eating more, even if it is not weekends. I guess, anybody who went to the gym for training would really be hungry afterwards. Much more , if you do some physical works on your job, you are sure to eat a lot after that. Good thing you always have a good appetite. Just compensate it always with training at the gym, so as not to get excess poundage.

We usually do too! It is when we usually do our food trip. It is only on weekends that we aren't bothered about our daily routines like waking up early to go to work and sleeping early so we can get up the following morning for work again. We hardly have enough time to savor our food, it is only on weekends when we have so much time for ourselves. So on weekends after doing our weekly groceries, my husband cooks a sumptuous recipe that the family would enjoy. We would prepare snacks we can eat while we watch dvds. It is really on weekends that we really enjoy eating non-stop!

Very true sweet pea. Weekends give us more time to prepare more food. It being a day off from our work, we tend to cook the foods we cannot cook on weekdays when we are always on the rush or too tired to do it.

One of the reasons why we tend to eat more during weekends is the presence of other family members. Having them makes us share stories while eating, without us noticing that we have already eaten a lot. So, same thing with when you go for a walk with friends. You tend to eat more because of the sharing of stories.

Eating more on the weekends makes sense since there is no work and you are home hanging around. I used to get that way when I was working. I hardly ate during the week but on the weekend I would overeat and by Sunday night I felt sick.

I agree that when weekends you tend to eat more especially if you eat with the family. Probably because even you do a lot of household chores, you are stressed free and relaxed at home than at work.

This is normal. As on the weekends you shall have more free time. And you will have a good mood to relax and enjoy your life. So you will have a good appetite and therefore you will eat more. I love China

Dear friend, I feel it would be part of getting hungry after the body had enough. Moreover it is better to eat well and do burn it out well. May be a balanced food with balanced work.

Because of the various household chores i have to do during weekends, i have to compensate it by eating more. But i guess, that won't give me an added poundage, because after eating, i have to go on with other chores.

Well, that's one of the best reason for eating more. For the sake of our babies, we don't need to be on diet.

you eat more because you are more relaxed, no pressures and of course have more time to eat...

Being it a free day or day off, we have are not in rush to eat, so that's why we overeat.

me too, though I don't do chores on weekends so I don't burn the extra weight (boo for me ). I eat more on weekends because my mum's such a great cook that it's difficult not to have a second, third, and fourth helping of her cooking. She also makes it a point to cook our favorite food on weekends!

of course, all moms cooks deliciously during weekends because it's her day off from work so she has a lot of time to do it.

It is actually natural for some of the people to eat more during weekend because during this time, people are not to busy. Most of their attention is being put on food. I also eat a lot during weekend.

In addition to doing chores at home on weekends, other family members are with us. Hence, eating meals will be happier and longer, making us eat more.

I eat a lot everywhere, any time. Just as long as the food tastes really good, and I wanna eat it. Umm, on the weekends I usually go out for picnics, parties, so perhaps that also could be the time where I eat a little bit more.

In your case, it's because you have all the time in the world to do it. But in my case, sometimes i eat more because i do a lot of cleaning. My chores at home is compensated by foods. Yummy!
