Recovering from several months of lifestyle creep without cutting every enjoyable expense

Simulated community examples only. Not financial, tax, investment, or legal advice.

My expenses quietly rose over the last few months: more delivery meals after long shifts, a couple of subscriptions, rides when I could have walked. No single purchase was outrageous, which is why it took me so long to notice. I want to bring spending back down without turning life into a punishment spreadsheet. I'm starting with a weekly takeout limit and reviewing recurring charges. What small change actually stuck for you after a period of lifestyle creep?
