New to sub, looking for advice on eating out.

Hi all! As the title states, I am new to this sub and thus probably going to screw up the acronyms / ask something that’s been discussed before. My apologies in advance, but from what I’ve read from this sub so far shows you guys are a pretty patient lot so here goes!

Reference: 26F, SW 175 CW 165, GW 130.

As the title suggests, I’m having trouble moderating myself when I eat out. Usually during the days I make myself lunch/cook dinner at home I’m okay and stay well within my MFP goals, but on the (fairly rare) occasion I go out to eat that self control is out the window. I start telling myself if I’m going to pay for an expensive meal (even if it’s fast food, to me it’s a “splurge” occasion) I should get what I want... and that includes apps and desserts. Thank god I’ve stuck to drinking water instead of sodas, at least, but it majorly kills my weightloss mojo when I’m scarfing down twice as many calories as I should and telling myself I “deserve a break”.

Is this bingeing behavior? I’m not totally sure. But I’ve tried my best to make smarter decisions and each time I either feel like I’m cheating myself or I break down and give in. My husband is fairly slim, and while he does eat healthy with me and encourage me at home, he’s as bad as I am when we go out.

What are some of your tricks for avoiding the willpower breakdown?
