Hi everyone
I’m 65kg which is the heaviest I’ve ever been, ideally I’d only really like to lose 5-6kg... but I am my own worst enemy
During the week I’m really healthy, have between 1200-1400 calories per day which for my BMR is in a defecit (I’m 5 ft 6 and 28) and exercise 4-5 times, I really make progress on the weekdays.
Then comes the weekend and I will enjoy wine and when I have a glass of wine, it makes me snack and lose “care” for what I eat. Then the next day feeling groggy, I’ll eat rubbish and not think about what I’m doing to my progress.
Does anyone have any tips on how to stop eating food just because it’s in front of you? If crisps, chocolate etc are in front of me I can’t stop eating it. We are going for a family BBQ this weekend and so I can’t choose the food and make sure it is healthy but I’d love to eat enough to be satisfied and then stop... it just doesn’t seem to register with me and especially after even a glass of wine (but also without having wine).
I’m just feeling really frustrated with myself like I’m on a hamster wheel. I was doing so well until lockdown. Today broke a pair of shorts. How do I remind myself on weekends that this is the reason my progress is going in the wrong direction - 2 days ruining 5 days of work!
