Hi
I'm new here and am after a bit of advice and guidance.
Firstly, I am a 34 year old male, and am 5ft 8in tall. About 4 years ago I topped the scales at 20st 4lbs (286lbs).
Over the next two and a half years I lost 6 and a half stone (94lbs) and got myself down to around 13st 11lbs ish.
I did this on a diet of weight watchers soup for lunch, which was around 99 calories and then a 500 calorie dinner in the evening, monday to Friday. I then ate and drank what I wanted on the weekend.
I've always played rugby and trained twice a week and I would go to the gym 4 nights a week during this time.
Then just over 2 years ago I met my partner and the diet slipped hugely. She has 2 children and eating with as a family became tough in terms of keeping up with that variety of diet. My weight went up to around 14st 4lbs and I was happy with that. A good solid 6st weight loss and I felt comfotable enough. I woudl make sure i adjusted my diet accordingly to keep at that figure.
As a side note, I have always fluctuated massively, as an example, i could gain 11lbs on a weekend and lose it all by the following friday.
This lasted for about a year, and I have started to put weight on again. I realised that my diet was no good for me, and am trying to eat a more balanced diet. I regulary try to eat breakfast, and have a health lunch and dinner, my focus now on what i'm eating. oats, youghurt and fruit for breakfast. Eggs or a salad for lunch and then envariably fish/ lean meat for dinner with vegtables.
But i keep putting the weight on. From February this year I have put on a stone and a half.
The issue i have, is that my weekends are still not great. Because i have always had blow outs I am struggling to stop them, and now I am eating more, well i'm just ballooning.
Does anyone have any tips for stopping the sugar cravings on the weekend?!
Sorry for the long winded message
