Yeah… my neighbor has two rats (I mean small little ankle biting POS dogs) who bark anytime someone walks remotely near the backyard fence which is on a Main Street because he lives on a corner… or they sit by the front window which he leaves open and bark/whine all damn day while he’s gone…
I 100% sympathize with the neighbor complaining about the barking…
This is why I do CICO. Let’s me adjust what I eat based off what I’m feeling that day… and it’s nice because ultimately it’s about eating at a deficit over a week, in my case at least… since I’m targeting 1.5 lbs/week it’s just about being at a deficit overall… so if I have a rough day I can theoretically “make up for it” throughout the rest of the week.
Of course I still need to exercise control and not just eat whatever whenever… but I love the flexibility and it’s allowed me to stay on track for 50 lbs over 6 months…
