Hi! First of all, I’ve been in this Sub for a few months and am so delighted that it encourages healthy weight loss without underlying “toxicness” as I’ve seen in some others.
I am 29/m and currently weigh about 155lbs. This time last year I was around 180+ and I don’t necessarily even know how I lost so much weight in that time. I definitely eat less Mcdonalds/Door Dash and focused on not drinking as much this past Summer (I am a somewhat heavy drinker generally but stick to seltzer and tequila) so I assume it was a combination of that. Anyway, that’s just a little background.
I am trying to get down to around 130lbs. I downloaded the “Lose It App” and have my settings to “lose 1.5lbs a week” with 700 extra calories on weekends. I have been somewhat disciplined, but I struggle with meeting my calorie deficit and am generally over (not always by a lot but still over). I’ve stayed at a steady weight for a month.
My problem is, I only see my boyfriend on the weekends. We like to drink, and he has a horrible diet (no shade to him, it’s just important to my dilemma). In theory, I’d be disciplined and either prepare my own meals when he eats out or not drink as much (if at all). But it is so difficult with temptations around me. Last night was an exception to the “weekend only” schedule and we ate Raising Canes. I was stressed about how many calories it was, and now have to play catch-up the rest of the week.
How can I meet my personal goal and still balance a little fun and indulgence? I cook at home during the week and while I don’t completely mind it, I am human and crave better tasting food. And I’ve found that indulging on the weekends is wayyy more calories than even my slotted “extra” gives me. Any tips or guidance would be very appreciated. Thank you!
