Clothing & Weekends

Question:  Does our eating and workout for the day depend on the clothes we wear that day?

I eat really well during the week.  I fight off temptations much easier than the weekend.  I know part of that is because my weekdays are structured.  I know where I will be every minute of the weekday.  While at work I can't go to the pantry and sneak some of the kids grains (goldfish-yes, I'm still  buying them goldfish.)

But I started thinking about something.  When I'm at home on the weekends I am usually wearing my lounge pants that are 2 sizes too big, my t-shirt that is old and stretched.  No make-up, hair pulled out of my face.  If I run to the store or to my parents or sisters house I change out of my lounge clothes..but I don't fix myself up.  I don't do my hair or makeup. 

Am I telling myself that I don't care when I dress like that?  Am I telling myself that I'm lazy when I walk past my mirror in my bathroom and I see myself looking 20 lbs heavier than I am just because of my clothing?  Hum.  Is this why I over-eat and snack on crap when I am at home on the weekends?  Is this affecting my workouts... or lack of workouts on the weekend?
I think it's time for a challenge.  Starting this weekend I will put on my nice workout clothes that are fitted and make me feel good.  I will wear a little makeup.  I will attempt something with my hair.  I'll keep you posted!
