I've been trying to lose weight for about 2 years now and I just keep failing. I've stayed the same weight consistently throughout this time (im a 5ft 9 female that weighs 168lbs). I usually manage to make it through the week sticking to 1300kcal a day, but I always seem to ruin it at the weekend or on special occasions. I've started tracking my calories and it ends up all balancing out so that overall Im eating my maintenance calories. No wonder Im not getting anywhere.
There have recently been quite a few occasions such as my birthday and Easter where eating too much is unavoidable. My family will make it a big deal if I turn down a piece of cake and its just not worth it. I also get bought so much chocolate on these occasions its ridiculous! Its not an option for me to tell them to not, and now its in my house its so difficult to avoid temptation. And I really want to start a fresh tomorrow but im having food with my partner's family and Im honestly dreading it because I know how guilty i will feel. Another issue is that my partner eats ALOT of snacks. I've gotten a lot better at avoiding temptation for the most part, and if he buys fast food he doesn't always bring it home as he knows I dont want to be tempted. But I'm still struggling with it and it does still happen, for example he brought a dominos pizza home today and i had 3 slices :(. I feel so guilty after this weekend as I've undone all of my hard work. With lock down easing I can foresee its going to become even more difficult as I tend to make bad decisions following having drinks with my friends. For example this week i ate several doughnuts (my partner had bought these) a whole Easter egg and a big bowl of pasta after drinking with a friend.
I just feel like I'm never going to get anywhere and like I'm just going in circles. Someone please help!
