I'm currently 8lbs down towards a 50lb weight loss goal, using CICO, anti-inflammation guidelines & gentle exercise. I lost the weight before but gained it back over the course of two very stressful yet successful years. I know I can do it again, and keep it off this time: I'm determined.
My biggest challenge at the moment is social triggers for over eating.
I have been better about it mainly by avoiding social situations where I know I'd be likely to drink or eat things that are not what I genuinely want in the big picture. I was eating out with friends or colleagues 3-5 nights per week (part of why I gained) not to mention lunches and coffee meetings.
I've started suggesting walks, being firmer with close friends about only eating places with healthy options, I started cooking for myself and my friends more often...
I've failed a few times, and just ended up eating things that I would prefer not to repeat.
There will always be a certain amount of social eating and drinking that I want and need to do for my career and social life. Also a certain amount of that will be with people who I DO NOT want to tell that I have dietary restrictions at all.
I have an important trip next week with a major client (who is a meat and potatoes and fast food kind of person) and I will be with him for four days straight meeting artists and I want/ need to prepare to keep myself on track.
Also, tomorrow is a weekly gathering of friends that I often find myself "grazing" and overeating at in general. I want to cut that shit out while still enjoying the company of my friends.
Please help with your best recommendations for maintaining willpower in social settings!
