First of all, want to recognize the position of privilege I am in. Not having to think about buying groceries and cooking dinner every night is an absolute blessing and having such a high budget every night is absurd.
However, since I started (July of last year) I have put on something like 30 pounds (185 --> 215 as a 6'3 male) due to eating delivery every single night M-F and weekends whenever I have to work. My usual methods for weight loss (IF + CICO) have been working all way up until I get to dinner, and then it all falls apart, even when I'm trying to order healthy. A big part of it is also the stress from my first job and how high pressure it is (trying to leave ASAP as I don't think it is good for my mental or physical health, and feel I could do much better elsewhere) but the delivery has been the vehicle through which that stress has transformed into weight gain. I would cook every night, but I work quite late and often don't have time to step way (again, bad job).
Have been able to lose significant weight in the past as I used to weigh 275 pounds in high school, and also lost 20 from March to July of last year, but has been significantly more difficult lately. An additional obstacle is the discovery of a gluten intolerance a couple of years ago, but also general stomach/gas problems that make my relationship with food difficult
Would love to hear anyone's perspectives on how to handle. Really struggling to manage through the pandemic / new employment & stress / gaining weight all at the same time
