So I've been a restaurant manager in several Italian/Pizza restaurants for about 4 years. Part of being a restaurant manager is free food, whenever I want it.
I'm sure many of you took a deep breath at that statement. It's hard for me too. I think most of my weight came on because of having unlimited access to delicious restaurant food every day.
I think the worst part for me is that I'm what some people call "skinny fat". I'm 5'11", so I was never really "fat", but definitely overweight. I was 203 pounds in June. I've since started my weight loss journey, and I've been using Noom. I am focusing on minimizing calories, since I can't really fit exercise into my schedule.
It is so hard for me to talk to people about my weight loss journey. Are there any other restaurant managers here? I feel like I don't have time to exercise, and it's so hard to not eat the delicious food I have access to at work. I was trying to just have a house salad and minestrone soup for lunch every day, but I've been tempted and this week I ate actual food like wraps and salmon rice bowls and stuff. I feel guilty every time I eat meals like this.
I just wanted to vent. It's not easy when I'm always around food and I can eat all of the menu items for free every day if I wanted. I don't know where to go from here. I've kind of shifted to eating my "main meal" at work instead of at home, so that saves my calorie budget for the foods I want to order at work.
Has anybody else run into a roadblock like this?
Starting weight 203 in June, current weight 171, but I feel like I'm developing an unhealthy relationship with food and a fear of eating anything more than 200 calories. I just want to be skinny.
