TL;DR: Looking for a "tough love" kind of app, service, or support group to turn to during vulnerable times.
Longer backstory: I'm a 35 year old man, 6'5" and 250-260 pounds. I know how to eat healthy (I have limited access to a nutritionist) and exercise, and I strength train 5-6 days per week. My goal weight is around 200-210, and I've been pulling off the rather difficult task of building muscle mass while losing body fat (I have access to BodPod to get a better idea of my composition than the scale and a mirror will give). My biggest issue is the psychological aspect of feeding.
My big problems are, in order of precedence:
1) After dinner, before bed: This is probably my most vulnerable time for justifying a snack I regret. Last night I ended up eating probably two full cups of very sugary trail mix and several stale waffle cones that were laying around. I wasn't hungry... they were just there, and had chocolate.
2) After work, before dinner: Second most vulnerable time, usually exacerbated by a stressful day. Yesterday I ended up snacking on those fixins' for the trail mix mentioned above - I picked them up for my wife on the way home (see next)
3) Availability: Unless I'm planning on throwing my wife out too, throwing out the snacks is not an option. That trail mix previously mentioned? That's the best way she's found to eat enough calories to keep our breastfed kid... well, properly fed.
So... anywho... circling back to the initial ask - looking for a pointer in the direction of accountability to remind my I'm never going to get the body image I want if I eat my wife's junk food. I gave Noom a try, but the whole caloric density focus disagrees with what my nutritionist is telling me, so I'm throwing that out. I tried the WW app, but it unless I missed it the "coaching" there is just short videos from various coaches.
