[b]If I stopped eating in restaurants 1-3 times per week, [/b]I could lose weight more easily, but I don't because I find it to be such a relaxing and fun ritual with my husband/family.

If I made time to exercise every morning, I could lose weight more easily, but I don't because I'm stuck in a rut of "sleeping in" until my baby wakes up.

If I counted calories more precisely, I could lose weight more easily, but I don't because figuring out the calorie counts of our homemade meals intimidates me, plus I don't want my kids to see me weighing my food on a food scale.  [/quote]

Wow, that's a lot of eating out. [/quote]

I know.  But it's just become part of our routine, and I'm not sure what to replace it with.  E.g., in a typical week my husband and I will go out to dinner ourselves on Fri or Sat to get some alone time away from the kids.  On Sat or Sun, we will take the kids to lunch after the playground.  Both rituals are very enjoyable, but I think it's def hindering my weight loss goals. [/quote]

Honestly doesn’t seem like a lot of eating out when you frame it this way. Maybe keep it to just 2x and push yourself to choose healthy options at restaurants? I used to excuse myself from choosing healthy options under the guise of “this is a special occasion and I don’t always have access to this type of food” until I realized I actually could pretty much access that food whenever I wanted.[/quote]
