Yes, learnt this the hard way in College.

I remember before cutting was easier when I never went out, then 1-2 years of partying/going out in college I wondered why cutting took me fking forever...

Now I rarely go out cause of other things, but now when I do, I just make a conscious effort of not eating **** and order 1-2 vodka sodas and call it good, and now we back on the easy shred train boyo

Just avoid any greasy **** and just sip if need be at social events, no1 will care or notice

It varies for me, but whenever alcohol enters the picture...it's usually a big setback.

First step is acknowledgement of your behavior patterns over a course of time. Next step is to decide if you want to change them, and why. Final step is implementing new behavior patterns and tell yourself "no" more often, with your "why" serving as your drive for continuity.

Stop the drinking mang. Sip on some water or tea instead. Smoke some 420 (if legal).

I leave my back day for friday and leg day for saturday

I use my weekends as "metabolism boosting" days now because my diet right now is super high protein but low calories during the week then keep protein high but add in a bunch of carbs on the weekend to refeed. I have been getting lean as **** again and still building strength so its nice. I basically am never hungry during the week and then just have fun on the weekends but hit protein goals, its awesome when you have enough lean muscle you can eat like an ******* a couple days and stay peeled.

I actually lost weight between Saturday and this morning. Probably didn’t eat too crazy though, and I don’t drink

Yeh it's the liquor that gets me. If I really wanted to cut, I would. But since I'm just happy where I'm at, I don't worry about it too much. But if I cut out the beers I would be shredded for sure.

The weed on weekends gives me the ultimate munchies and I demolish everything on sight.

Amazingly though I have been very gradually recomping and still haven’t stopped making progress…it’s all a delicate balance.

i do IF when cutting and weekends are hard because other days I'm at work and my mind is focused on other stuff. On weekends I get bored-hungry.

I'm on a calorie deficit during the week then a calorie surplus Where I eat whatever the fuk I want basically on the weekends.

I'm losing weight Weekly currently so I'm happy with it for now. Ideally I'll become more disciplined in time but cheat meals/days are inevitable mane

Cheat meals are a necessary evil, otherwise you just deplete yourself and burn out imo

This. If alcohol is involved, especially heavier caloric ones (beer, cider, non-diet mixers, most drinks that come in a can in general), then it's gonna be a setback.

In general I hate how drinking alcohol tends to make the weekend feel like its all sped up. Drink some beers, feel a good buzz or even drunk, and then before you know it it's bed time. Also bad when you feel hungover on mornings/days you wanted to make productive.
