(22M) how do I stop cheating on my diet?
Ever since gyms have been closed I've been slowly gaining weight. At the start of quarantine I was 190lbs. Over a year later (im in canada) and were still locked down for the most part. I've packed on 60lbs. I sit at 250lbs and I absolutely hate it. I feel disgusting. None of my clothes fit and i hurt. My goal was to get to abs. I believe that at 181cms I could have some respectable defined muscles at 175 give or take 5lbs.
I've been trying to diet for months now but I keep falling short and giving up on myself. It's all mental. The second I get too hungry i cave....I find that I can go the whole day being perfect, eating on plan (I prepare my meals) but the second I see my gf I cheat on my diet. This usually happens when she comes over at night. And if im not careful it sends me into days of cheating.
As for my household: My parents insist on keeping leftovers (pizza, pasta, chinese) & other junk (oreos, ice cream, chips, etc) in the house. I've tried to negotiate with them but they refuse to compromise and I understand that its not their burden to bare....I love My girlfriend but she aswell doesn't want to diet because of her history with eating disorders and I understand that so I wouldn't dare push my diet on her. However I want to get in shape and I don't know how to get over this mental block. I know what I need to do. I just keep quitting on myself and I don't know why.
Tl;Dr- What do you do you do when you feel like caving on your diet? What triggers you to cave and how do you overcome it? What tips would you give someone in my situation
