Had one everyday this week. No motivation to cook or eat healthy.

One of my resolutions for this year was to only have 21 T/As for the whole year!
Well so far I've had 2 this month. So am on track..almost

Since LD I would say twice a week - either MaccyD, Chinese or Thai - depending on what my mom has planned for dinner. But tbh am a bit bored of all three and I'm not fussed about Italian or Indian.
Last takeaway we had was last Friday I think, but did't really enjoy the Sweet & Sour much

Used to never do it or at most once every few months but I've gotten into the habit of ordering pizza once a month. Trying to stop that now.
I live in a part of Newcastle Upon Tyne where there's about 30 takeaways within a 10 minute walk and when I first moved to this area I found myself getting at least 2 or 3 takeaways a week which is ridiculous but these days I'll get at least 2 a month as I'd rather eat healthier.
We were doing so well all of January and had no takeaways. We were gonna carry it on then the first week of Feb we had a Mcdonalds and 2 takeaways in the same week 
none since then though!

Probably about one a month at the moment. Went through the first lockdown without really having any. But noticed there a lot better choice on JustEat at the moment so slowly working my way through them.
The main thing that puts me off getting them is they can take so long to arrive. I always make the mistake of ordering them when hungry.

During the first lockdown we were pretty bad getting them 2/3 times a week to make up for no nights out or anything else to do really! Now we’re back to having them one or twice a month
Probably twice a week. But I live in North London and there’s so much choice so it’s easy to find something healthy-ish if we want. Also, we were eating out loads when we could, so it all evens out. A year of lockdown and I still can’t cook! My husband does it all
Super rarely! Whenever we ordered takeaway in the past we honestly never enjoyed it as much as we’d hoped and it never seems to be worth the money. We can spend less and cook better food The only exception for us is a local, independent fried chicken place which is INSANELY good. We’ve ordered from there twice over lockdown but still prefer going out and actually eating in the restaurant.

Once a week on a Saturday. It's my treat after eating healthily and cooking from scratch every other day of the week. I try to keep it fairly healthy-ish (it's usually Nandos or a chicken shish as the best Chinese in the area has been closed all through each lockdown) and not make a total pig of myself these days as well

I do a payday takeaway. I used to have them weekly but since eating better I’ve gone to monthly so I know I can still have them and don’t go wild binging but it is more controlled. It’s worked so far 
Reading all the replies has made me realise we have an awful habit.
We've had 2 this week already, its only Thursday. We will more than likely have one on Friday night and then probably Saturday too because it will be too late to defrost any meat by the time one of us thinks about it.
And if you count lunches as takeaways, then it's every day! I have maccies brekko at least once a week and get my lunch from either Greggs or Tesco every day.
We often discuss how much money we waste on food, but neither of us have the inclination to cook after a busy day at work.

Back when I was living with my friend, we'd probably get a takeaway once a week? I live with my boyfriend now and he is a bit of a health nut, wasn't allowed takeaways as a kid or anything. It's a real point of contention between us, which sounds so daft but I find him so controlling about food sometimes. He plans our meals for the week and then we have to stick to it. He doesn't understand that sometimes I just fancy a pizza or a chippy tea, just because! I can't exactly plan when I am in the mood to get takeaway. We have them maybe once a month at the moment. I don't think I would go back to having a takeaway every week, but I do find it really annoying that when I do fancy it, I get shut down with "but I am going to cook x for tea" when 99% of the time, it could wait until the next day!
I'm not exaggerating when I say this but my neighbour has a takeaway at least once a day, often twice 
she usually gets breakfast and then her evening meal - I'm not a stalker, my dog goes mad every time he sees any type of delivery man

I was ordering McDonald’s etc every other day! It was making me feel like absolute tit and I had to actually delete my Uber eats app to stop it from getting out of control!
That sounds extremely suffocating to me! I’d hate it if my boyfriend was planning what I’d eat, fair enough if it’s only his dinner he’s planning but surely you should be allowed to eat what you fancy once in a while? Seems quite controlling and dare I say it, toxic. No judgement on your relationship but just sounds so suffocating!!
We have an Indian/ Chinese most Saturdays, but if i lived in a town or city and had more choice of food to order from like different restaurants ect would definitely order more often as i hate cooking!
I totally get how it sounds - it's the only thing we ever argue about. I think it'll get easier once we're out of lockdown as it'll be easier to be a bit more spontaneous. I am involved in meal planning so do get a say but sometimes I'm like "yes I know I said I wanted sausage casserole today but you asked me 4 days ago and I've since changed my mind". I reckon he's got some issues with food tbh as he thinks he was really large when he was younger. He wasn't, he was within normal BMI which also annoys me as I've struggled with my weight since puberty
