I get there as soon as they open so I can get everything in, shower and get to work on time. You MUST count EVERYTHING!!! People drink juice, smoothies, and all kinds of crap and think it does not add up. No sauce, no salt, no sugar, no wheat, and no junky carbs like potatoes or rice. I do allow one sweet per day and those are rice rollers with dried fruit. That is it! I even switched to sugar free gum. I turned 40 last year and realized I was gross, ugly and fat. So, I did something about it and have lost 60 pounds. I want to go all the way back to high school weight and will not stop until I reach it. If I have to do 500 and get on a pic line so be it. And, this is for me not for some man, so there is that before anyone on here bashes me for trying to appease somebody. This is what I want. I want back control over my life. Good luck OP. Be ruthless with the diet and exercise. Your body can take it. Mind over pain.
Good luck with this, and please be gentle with yourself when you can’t sustain this forever. You are punishing your body, and your body is doing what it can to survive. As soon as you let go, it will too.
