My suggestion? Make rules you strive to live by:

- No eating past 8pm on weeknights, for any reason.

- Alcohol no more than 3 times a week.

- Always take at least a third of a restaurant meal home with you.

I'm just being illustrative, but those have worked for me. If you can up the intensity of your gym workouts, that is a massive plus. That said, you can eat through pretty much any normal workout with bad dietary habits.

This is very helpful.
The only thing I would add is to cut the breads, pastas, etc. They are a treat in limited quantities.

Agree with most of these tips. I am post menopausal and to lose weight need to keep portion sizes small, cut carbs and sugar, and no eating after dinner. To maintain weight, I basically need to do the same which is very depressing but it is what it is.
