A new restraunt job is killing my weightloss

I have worked so hard these past 6 months and i lost 52 pounds i am so proud but i have a long way to go to lose another 50 i started working to help out my hubby at bennigins restraunt and i have already cheated this weekend i just dont know what to do i need support on not giving in i cant quit we need money. i just keep thinking what i can do to so i wont eat at that place. I work at night from 5 to 12 im a hostess and a server an im on my feet all night i sweat alot when im there i also lift about 50 chairs a night i dont even know if when im at work if i burn alot of calories. besides that i work out on my treadmill for 45 min before work. im so lost right now can anyone give me advice or just cheer me up because i worked so hard i dont want to mess up again im thinking on starting phase 1 on sbd agin so i wont go for any fried foods or sweets. Before i starting working i ate 1200 cals a day and i up it to 1500 because i thought i might be burning more at work but i think that just gave me the ticket to eat more stuff i need help anyone out there.   

You need to do 2 things.   First, work out a realistic calorie intake.  Use the CC calculator and set your activity level somewhere between 'moderate' and  'very active'.  1500 doesn't sound like enough to me and it'll lead to you grazing at work to keep your energy up.  But if you eat more it has to be managed.   So next you need to plan your food ahead of time, work out the calories and be prepared.  Eat a good-sized meal before you start your shift and take a packed 'lunch' and some on-the-go snacks to eat when you have your breaks.  (And you're entitled to breaks in a 7 hour shift).  Have healthy food ready for when you get home .... maybe cook some meals in advance and freeze in portions?

thanks fot the reply gi-jane i never really had thought about planning food out but i think i might try that i had already changed my activity level to moderate but do you think i should  eat when i get home at 12 in the morning i thought it was bad to eat so late. get back to me on that. but i will try the planning. anyone else have advice to give me. 

If you work shifts you have to re-jig your sleep and eating patterns accordingly.  If you're eating heavy meals late at night and then going straight to sleep it wouldn't harm your weight-loss but it wouldn't do your digestion many favours.  I'm assuming you get up and go to bed a lot later than you used to?  If you don't adjust your sleep/eating patterns you could also find the fatigue messes around with your insulin levels and leads you to crave sugary snacks and other 'quick fix' energy foods.  An occupational hazard for people wanting to lose weight but working unsociable hours.

Have the most substantial meal before you start work, perhaps.   That's when you need the most energy.  Take a moderate-size packed meal and then plan something fairly light for when you get home.

i also work at a resarant and i find that those days i tend to loose more weight then days i don't work, because u are walking around and moving the whole time. what i do is i make dinner b4 i leave and make sure it is one of my fav things to eat, so that the whole time i'm at work i'm thinking about what food i get to eat when i get home. also bring snacks to work and drink lots of water during ur shift so u don't feel as hungry.

I agree with gijane about planning out meals. I used to work at a restaurant and i would always make sure that I ate before my shift because I didn't want to rely on the food there. I think most of us don't realize how many calories are in restaurant food because we don't know exactly what goes into that food. 1500 calories a day seems perfect for your activity level. I would just steer clear of Bennigan's food!
