If you feel like you "have it together" Monday through Thursday but chaos starts on Friday night, this episode is for you.

Amanda, Sabrina, and Jess break down why weekend overeating is so common and why it's not a willpower problem. They unpack the psychology, physiology, and how stress, sleep, and alcohol fuel the cycle.

You'll learn why saving all the "fun" for the weekend backfires, how calorie cycling can unintentionally reinforce all-or-nothing habits, and why your body craves predictability more than perfection. They also share strategies to carry structure into the weekend without turning your life into a rigid food rulebook.

The goal isn't perfect weekends. It's fewer extreme swings, less guilt, and waking up Monday feeling steady instead of behind.
