Don’t try and be perfect, every day just try and make small changes you can stick with. I figure if I do well 80% of the time, thats better than yesturday/last week/last month. I’m similar and super good with excuses “crazy day at work, I’ll just have wine and some chips tonight”, my Gran had a stroke a few weeks ago and I have been at the hospital daily after work, and constantly tell myself “just grab take out, you’ve had a long day, you shouldn’t have to cook/clean”, I push through those,cause i know I’ll feel worse the next day, and then will do it again cause “you’ve had a long day, don’t feel great, just one more day”
I meal prep so everything is ready, little excuse not to have it. I also don’t track calories (but do do IF) Fri/Sat so I make deals with myself…just make it to Friday and you can have XYZ…bonus by Friday, I don’t want most of it instead of having had it every day that week.
Its hard, and I know people say look at the long term, but I do better looking focusing on day to day. If I think long term, I’m like “I have 6 months, extra fries won’t matter today!” I need to think of the day to day, just get through today.
Not sure if any of that helped, super rambly lol
