@MotherOfGodWeeFella, sounds like you've done really well. I've been trying to cut out all the crap too.
I've cut my alcohol consumption down to sharing a 187ml can of wine with DH once every 2 weeks as a treat, we used to share a bottle every weekend. If he wants more, he has a beer sometimes, which I'm not keen on anyway.
Also doing my best to avoid cake. If I buy cake for DH and DS2 at the weekend that I am not so bothered about, I'm less likely to want any. Occasionally I cave and have a bit, but am doing well weaning myself off it. I'm finding anything with a lot of sugar tastes too sweet now. Occasional couple of squares of 85% chocolate are permitted if I feel like it.
I've been doing 1/2 an hour exercise before work on the rebounder in the morning and also going for a 1/2 hour lunchtime walk on my 4 WFH days a week. On my office day I don't do any exercise and am too tired when I get home, but I do make a salad for my packed lunch and DH makes dinner and makes sure my serving is good for me.
I have got into a good routine with things I like eating and usually have:
Breakfast: usually natural kefir with almonds, sometimes porridge with skimmed milk or a boiled egg. Plus decaf latte with skimmed milk and a grapefruit or orange. I've switched from semi skimmed to skimmed milk and given up granola or muesli.
Lunch: I make salad every day with avocado, cucumber, tomato (plus something like celery fennel or red pepper), olive oil and ACV. I've recently started adding raw sauerkraut. I add a little protein like pine nuts, pecans, hummus or occasionally a little soft goats cheese or jarlsberg. I usually have an apple or some other fruit as well. I hardly ever have bread with lunch anymore, which I used to, and have massively cut down on cheese.
Dinner: It varies, but whatever we have I tend to avoid the pasta/rice/bread/potatoes etc that DH and DS2 have, or occasionally have a tiny portion. We only have meat once a week, often bolognase made with lean steak mince, which I just pour over a load of steamed veg. We also eat a lot of bean/lentil dishes, which I just have with veg. Or with baked fish DH and DS2 might have potatoes and veg, I just have the veg.
All this seems to work well as I we don't have to make different things for dinner. Occasionally I'm really tired and can't be bothered to cook and have some things like frozen lasagne in the freezer to heat up and then I'll eat something less healthy. But if that is only occasional it's not so bad.
If I really want a snack around 4pm, which I sometimes do, it might be a couple of oat cakes, or a couple of squares of 85% chocolate, but trying to wean myself off that too!
I don't count calories but I weigh myself every morning when I get up and if I've put on a pound I put more effort into getting back on track the next day.
We also get 3 organic fruit/veg boxes a week from different suppliers. I find the quality and variety much better than supermarket and it really helps me to maintain eating a diet with mainly vegetables.
My main aim is to find a long term eating and exercise habit that I'm happy with on an ongoing basis, not just until I reach my target weight, bit afterwards too.
